Chocolate Gin and Tonic

Chocolate Gin and Tonic

Dutch dark cocoa has been a staple in my kitchen pantry for as long as I can remember. Over the years this bitter dark cocoa has become a favourite drink on cold blustery days. On a quest to mix the perfect chocolate gin and tonic for Easter I decided to use dark cocoa and was delighted with the outcome- a delicious tasting Chocolate Gin and Tonic that will absolutely delight any chocolate lover with the bittersweet dark cocoa and the fruity sweet and sour notes of Hibiscus syrup. Suitable as a cocktail or mocktail. The choice is yours!
