Day 12: A Celebration of Chocolate – Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini at HMF

We’ve added some glamour to our chocolate journey as we visit HMF at The Breakers. This newly opened eating and drinking establishment brings a refreshing take on the seductive cocktail culture to Palm Beach — and has replaced the ultra-posh Les E’scalier. For Valentine’s Day this year, they will feature a luscious Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini (recipe follows).

Follow us all month long, as we explore local establishments during our celebration of chocolate series. We’ll introduce you to some decadent chocolate dishes at local restaurants — and we’ve even snagged a few recipes to keep you busy in the kitchen.

HMF is located at The Breakers, 1 South County Rd., Palm Beach; 561-659-8480
