As I have found with all of the bitters I've explored in this series, the aroma hits you first and hits you hard. But how best to taste it on its own? Normally, I start with a gin and bitters but gin and chocolate didn't sound like a winning combo so I went with vodka instead.
The flavor is strong, too - indeed reminiscent of an Aztec hot chocolate. Many of the recipes I found online combine the bitters with tequila or mezcal, completing the Mexican theme. That might be worth trying, as might a hot cocoa concoction.
I LIKE THIS! Hope it is available in the UK, I will be looking!
ReplyDeleteI wonder. I would definitely be interested to know if it is.
Deletevia Amazon, put it on my xmas foodie list :-) will check local delis too though!
DeleteAwesome. Keep me posted.
DeleteSomething I wouldn't even have thought about. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting - a solid choice for a subtle chocolate hint.
DeleteI have this one. I haven't found a lot of ways to use it, though.
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes use mezcal for margaritas; maybe I'll try an Aztec chocolate margarita.
That sounds nice. Would you keep the citrus?
DeleteWell, yeah. It's not a margarita without it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Lime and chocolate... interesting combo.
