Velvetised Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur

Available from Hotel Chocolat

Smooth, sinful, elegant: our Velvetised Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur bottles the most decadent flavours, ready for you to enjoy cold over ice, or stirred into a hot drink. Vodka, espresso, white chocolate and cream, velvetised together for that undeniably velvety texture, making this tipple dangerously easy to sip on - we’re partial to a shot (or more) all year round! Chocolate and booze is a flavour combination which just works, and we like to think we know a thing or two about finding the right balance between alcohol and cocoa. We’re the only chocolatier to run two bars: one on our Saint Lucian cocoa plantation and the other at our restaurant in London’s Borough Market, giving us a keen appreciation of which spirits work well with chocolate. We wanted our own revolutionary espresso martini, strong in those punchy coffee notes, yet mellowed slightly with the creaminess of chocolate. The result? We settled on white chocolate to pair with this liqueur: satisfyingly smooth and with a fragrant, subtly sweet finish, our white chocolate holds its own against aromatic coffee notes and warming boozy undertones. We think this liqueur tastes best shaken and poured over ice - just make sure you keep it chilled in the fridge beforehand. However, if you’re after a warming evening drink, our Velvetised Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur pairs beautifully with a milky coffee or rich hot chocolate
