As Easter Sunday approaches, many are flaunting which Easter egg they’ve chosen this year on social media. However, there’s more than one way to celebrate the season, especially if you’re an adult who enjoys a tipple.
While eggs are perfect for children, why not spice things up this Easter with a chocolate liqueur?
I was fortunate enough to sample some Mozart Chocolate Liqueur recently, in both Chocolate Cream and White Chocolate flavours, and it’s a revelation.
I often find myself craving something sweet, particularly in the evenings. However, tucking into an egg or a chocolate bar can feel quite heavy before bedtime. Instead, I used these liqueurs to whip up my own chocolate cocktails, and they were irresistible!
Not only were they light and delicious, but they also satisfied my chocolate cravings without the need to devour an entire Easter egg. Keeping it simple (and due to a lack of alcohol in my cupboard), I chose to mix the chocolate liqueur with just some milk. After blending, I topped it off with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
For good measure, I drizzled some extra liqueur on top. However, if you’re after something a bit more sophisticated, there are several chocolate liqueur cocktail recipes you can try below.
I must confess, I found the Mozart Cream Chocolate Liqueur more to my liking than the Mozart White Chocolate Liqueur. This is likely due to my preference for milk chocolate and my perception of white chocolate as overly sweet.
However, I am certainly looking forward to purchasing the Mozart Cream Chocolate Liqueur in the future, especially for Easter cocktail gatherings with friends.
The Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur is priced between £14.25 and £18.25 for a 500ml bottle and can be bought on Amazon.
