2. Celebrating Valentine's Day in Pawtucket? Between now and Feb. 15, you can visit White Dog Distilling to try two decadent seasonal moonshines: the HOWLIN' Cherry Chocolate and HOWLIN' Chocolate Peanut Butter. Alecia Catucci, who co-owns the Mineral Spring Avenue micro-distillery with her husband Carlo, told Providence Online that these delicious concoctions were chocolate born from popular cocktails in the White Dog Distilling tasting room. "We thought if our spirit family liked the cocktail, they may enjoy it as a moonshine!" said Catucci. (Providence Online)
