There is plenty to eat in and around Hershey. Like, plenty. But when it comes to drinking, there was only one place everyone and her mother told me I had to go, and that was the Iberian Lounge in the Hotel Hershey for their chocolate martinis. And they were not wrong.
A quick look at Instagram will show you they've got a line of suuuper sweet drinks at the dark and swanky bar, but what you can't glean from the webz is just how pretty and special they are IRL.
Each martini features at least one piece of iconic Hershey candy. The Signature Martini, for example, begins with a chocolate syrup-adhered cocoa powder rim and a speared Kiss as a garnish. And that's before the real fun begins (...by which I mean the vodka).

That classic cocktail is a great place to start, but the star of the line up in my mind was the one featuring the Hershey's Gold Bar. Because the candy itself is both sweet and salty, the drink is as well. Not only are you getting sugar high and tipsy with this one, you're also getting hit with a little bit of sea salt flavor in each sip.
Find the entire collection of renowned chocolate martinis at The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. Cheers!
