To me, coffee and chocolate pair together like peanut butter and jelly or wine and cheese. Balancing sweetness and bitterness, chocolate and coffee also pair well when used in coffee cocktails. Whether you’re looking for an after-dinner treat or a specialty cocktail to showcase at a special event, these four buzz-worthy cocktails blend coffee, chocolate, and indulgence for the perfect treat. Using Mozart’s Coffee Chocolate Liqueur from Salzburg, Austria as a main ingredient, here’s how you can make these easy, yet indulgent coffee chocolate cocktails for yourself.
Chocolate Espresso Martini
“To me, the best available Espresso Martini is a Mozart Chocolate Espresso Martini,” says Holger Hügelsberger, International Sales Director. “This cocktail takes the espresso martini to the next level and is our love letter to the elegance of the Viennese coffeehouse. The combination of Mozart Coffee Chocolate Liqueur, espresso, and fresh cream evokes the sophistication of classics like the ‘Kapuziner’—a small, strong coffee softened with cream—or the ‘Fiaker,’ a bold espresso served with a hint of spirit. It’s a drink that blends history and modern mixology, offering a contemporary cocktail that even those who are not chocolate chasers get to enjoy.”
