Dark Chocolate & Orange Cocktail

by Emily White


You know those chocolate orange candy balls that you hit on the counter to break apart the bite sized wedges? Well imagine that as a delicious cocktail. This is exactly that. It brings together that magical combination on chocolate and citrus in a rich and refreshing cocktail by using a touch of fresh orange juice and orange syrup shook with chocolate liquor. Yum! I call for vodka below but I have swapped it with whiskey, bourbon or spiced rum many times depending on my mood. All are delicious. 

Ingredients
1 oz vodka
1 oz Creme De Cacao
1/2 oz orange syrup
1/4 fresh orange juice
optional garnish: orange confit slice or shaved chocolate with sugar on the rim

1. Add the vodka, Creme De Cacao, orange syrup and orange juice into a shaker with ice. Shake for 20 seconds and strain into a coup glass. Garnish if using. Cheers!
