The flavours of mint and chocolate are a classic combination. After 8 Mint Thins, Girl Scout Cookies, mint and chocolate chip ice cream… All great options. We wanted to take this classic favourite of many and turn it into a lighter flavoured refreshing beverage. Here, the focus is on the mint, brightened up with some lime juice, all to pair perfectly with our Top Shelf Vodka. We’ve incorporated a hint of chocolate flavour using our Top Shelf Spiced Chocolate Bitters, a fan favourite from our bitters line-up. Refreshing and crushable, this chocolate mint cocktail is an interesting spin on how we would usually enjoy the pairing of mint and chocolate. We thought chocolate should take a bit of a back seat on this one for a light cocktail akin to a mojito. Wish to amp up that chocolate flavour? Try it with a bit of Creme de Cacao instead of simple syrup for a richer chocolate flavour.
