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.” 

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Mozart Coffee Chocolate Liqueur
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4 TBSP heavy cream, divided
  • 1 shot of espresso
  • Orange peel, for garnish

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake well and strain into two Nick & Nora glasses.
  3. Add the remaining heavy cream to a small jar and shake until thickened.
  4. Gently pour over the top of each glass. Garnish with an orange peel, if desired.

These are my favorite beers from Vermont that you should give a try
Vermont is home to more than Ben & Jerry
Lawson's Finest

There are about 9,000 breweries in the US. While places like California, Maine, Colorado, and Oregon are famous for beer, no state is more saturated with IPAs, lagers, and stouts than Vermont.

If you didn’t know it, Vermont is much more than the state that brought us Ben & Jerry. The New England state is arguably America’s beer capital. While it doesn’t have the population of some of the other beer centers, it’s number one per capita, with more than 74 breweries. That’s between 14.5 and 15 breweries per 100,000 people. This includes iconic breweries like The Alchemist, Foam, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, Zero Gravity, and the renowned Hill Farmstead Brewery.

The Best Restaurant in New York for Catching Up with an Old Friend
Date restaurants have one set of criteria; restaurants for catching up with your buddies have another.
Food, Food Presentation, Plate

Finding a restaurant in New York City for a proper catch-up with a buddy is deceptively tricky. When I was single, I kept a tried-and-true roster of date restaurants. The criteria were straightforward enough: soft lighting, ideally the glow of candlelight; a serene ambience, perhaps with a little jazz; and plush, private seating for lingering conversation—or a smooch after dessert.

But what about dinner with my cousin Billy? I was less than eager to spend the evening feeling like I was on a Hinge date with him—a sentiment I suspect was mutual. Sure, I could have picked a dive bar, but we're both in our mid-thirties now and striving to feign respectability. Besides, Bill draws a fat salary at Amazon, and I knew he'd feel obliged to pick up the tab for his freelance writer cousin. Why squander such generosity on chicken wings and Guinness?

The bottles of bourbon you should always have on your bar cart
Stock your home bar with these balanced bourbons
Bourbon bottle

Other than the designated hitter, apple pie, and ranch dressing, there are few things more uniquely American than bourbon whiskey. While there are a variety of rules, to be considered bourbon whiskey, it must be made from at least 51% corn (with many having a much higher percentage) and be made in the US (including Puerto Rico and DC). Regardless of what a whiskey purist might tell you, it doesn’t need to be produced in Kentucky (although more than 90% of it still is made in the Bluegrass State). That said, if you’re new to this type of whiskey, you need to start somewhere. Lucky for you, I’m here to help.

If you were to magically rewind my life about two decades, I would easily have been able to refer to myself as a bourbon beginner. Back then, I had only sampled a few whiskeys (mostly in cocktails) and couldn’t tell the difference between Johnnie Walker and Jim Beam. Over the years (and with a ton of writing, researching, and sampling), I’ve learned that not only are there major differences between Scotch, bourbon, and other whisk(e)ys, but also that there are a handful of bourbon whiskeys that everyone should stock on their home bar at all times.
