Well, we have chocolate covered peanuts and chocolate covered espresso beans and chocolate covered everything else so why not chocolate covered rum? I made a chocolate simple syrup with coconut nectar and drinking chocolate. It is really deeply chocolate and very thick. This cocktail has the flavor of rum and coconut but…
This is like eating a 97% cacao chocolate bar. Only a touch sweet. You can use this as a substitute for Simple Syrup in any cocktail that has chocolate. For some examples of chocolate cocktails using this syrup go here. If it’s too thick, add some hot water. 1 oz.…

November’s Mixology Monday has come and gone and we’re talking brunch cocktails. From the Caribbean to the Far East, an egg, maple syrup, French Toast, coffee and bananas – all in a glass, (well, actually several glasses). That’s enough for the yammering, let’s get to the cocktails: First up…
