When a bottle of Criollo Bourbon Dark Chocolate showed up at my doorstep, my mind instantly started racing, wondering what I could conjure up in the kitchen to satisfy my tastebuds at cocktail hour. As you may have noticed from some of my other cocktail recipes, I don’t have a very prominent sweet tooth, and prefer to drink and create cocktails that let the liquors speak for themselves.
A bourbon dark chocolate liquor, however, is different. Just like chocolate itself, it can be transformed in so many different ways to satisfy the desires of those looking for something sweet, or savoury – or even spicy! At this time of year, I wanted to create something classic and festive to celebrate the holiday season; my mind almost instantly wandered to the classic Old Fashioned and how it could be infused to create something more decadent in December. With a quick google search, I found this recipe from the Bourbon Blog that inspired this very tasty (and easy to make!) drink.
