Chocolate Week kicks off 13 October and runs until 19 October. To celebrate, we’re sharing this chocolatey cocktail from mixologist Alec Trousdale at The Queens Arms, Edinburgh – a gorgeous, whisky-based cocktail with cream and way too many calories!
Using Auchentoshan three wood, a triple distilled heavily sherried lowland malt, Araku coffee liqueur, half ‘n’ half and chocolate bitters, this drink is seriously delicious and panders to your inner child.
Serve it in a crystal flute with dark chocolate shavings on top as a garnish.
Ingredients
- 37.5ml Auchentoshan three wood whisky
25ml Araku
50ml half ‘n’ half (as the name suggests half milk, half cream)
2 dash Aztec chocolate bitters
Method
- Shake all ingredients together
- Fine strain into glass
- Grate chocolate on top
