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 the dark chocolate predominates. The spice of the chipotle and bitters keeps the sweetness at bay.
- 1 1/2 oz. Rum
- 1/2 oz Coconut Liqueur
- 1/4 oz. Chocolate Simple Syrup – Recipe here
- 2 pinches chipotle powder
- 1 dash Fees Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters
- Chill a cocktail glass with ice and water
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and stir with a spoon to dissolve the chocolate syrup
- Add Ice to the shaker and shake to chill
- Double strain into chilled glass and serve
Cheers!
