COCOA-CURRANT COCKTAIL

Arrows Restaurant in Ogunquit, Me., had a request for a signature wedding cocktail utilizing cocoa powder. The bartender devised one in which gin is shaken with red currant sorbet and cocoa-infused simple syrup, then served in a glass rimmed with cocoa powder. It's a lively, complex drink - a far cry from the weak gin-and-tonics that once defined wedding reception drinking.

MULLED MANHATTAN

This classic grape-and-grain mixture came to us from Christopher Tunnah, the general manager and beverage director at the Bedford Post in Bedford, N.Y. It's as jolly and red as a Santa suit, and it derives its Dickensian tang from the nutmeg hints in Angostura bitters and the clove-studded orange flavors of orange bitters. Craving seconds is easy.

13 BEST CREME DE CACAO COCKTAILS - INSANELY GOOD

Published Nov 2, 2021
Category Beverages, Recipe Roundup
  • Brandy Alexander Cocktail. First on our list is the Brandy Alexander cocktail, which is the lesser-known cousin of the White Russian. This underrated cocktail is a mix of brandy, creme de cacao, heavy cream, and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
  • Brandy Alexander Milkshake. Looking at this creamy delight alone already makes me drool. The Brandy Alexander milkshake is the cocktail of my dreams. It’s basically a booze-infused milkshake, so how can anyone say no?
  • Chocolate Martini. This chocolate martini tastes just like a chocolate bar, in cocktail form. It’s a combination of Irish cream and creme de cacao, so expect the chocolate flavor to be truly on point.
  • Jellyfish Shot. Intriguing name, am I right? The presentation and flavor are even more interesting, though. The jellyfish shot is a layered cocktail of creme de cacao, amaretto, Irish cream, and grenadine.
  • Commodore 64. The Commodore 64 adds a chocolatey spin to the original, citrusy Commodore No. 2. If you’re a fan of the chocolate and orange combo, this cocktail is definitely a must-try.
