Chocolate Fashioned
Description
Chocolate Fashioned is a luxurious variation of the classic Old Fashioned with the addition of chocolate liqueur. By combining the Old Fashioned, one of the oldest cocktails defined in 1806, with chocolate liqueur born in Europe in the late 20th century, it creates a modern cocktail where tradition and innovation beautifully merge. The strength of bourbon combined with the deep richness of chocolate creates an adult taste that can also be enjoyed as a dessert.
