FEATURED SPIRIT

Chocolate-Flavored Spirits
Great sips of nearly everyone's favorite taste.

I

Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
From Belgium's master chocolate-makers
comes this remarkably soft and velvety
drink. A mixture of 30-proof liqueur and
pure liquid chocolate, this is bold, sweet
and delicious with a surprisingly light
finish. Godiva Chocolate Liqueur makes
a great holiday gift and it's also perfect
for cocktails. Try it with vodka, ice, and a
chilled glass for a Godiva Grand Chocolate
Martini.
Murlarkey Cocoa Whiskey
Murlarkey is a young distiller y that's
already won a number of awards. Their
craft spirits are made by hand in Prince
William County, and one of their best is
Cocoa Whiskey. Who doesn't love whiskey
and chocolate? I'm guessing it's a pretty
short list. At Murlarkey, they pour white
whiskey on top of all-natural cocoa nibs
and wait for the flavors to infuse. This is a
highly versatile drink that can be enjoyed
neat, lightly chilled, over ice, or blended
into a cocktail.
Bailey's Chocolate Cherry
This is an instant classic from Ireland. The
renowned team at Bailey's has taken their
cream liqueur and made it even better by
adding two ingredients that work so well
together-chocolate and dark cherries.
For a special treat, add it to coffee or your
favorite milkshake.

Rapidan River Chocolate Flavored Wine
It's a safe bet that you've never tried
anything quite like this chocolate wine
from Prince Michel Winery in Leon. They
start with Merlot and a proprietary mixture
of natural white chocolate, hazelnut and
white cocoa flavoring. The taste is bold
yet surprisingly subtle.
360 Double Chocolate Vodka
This is the ideal treat for grown-ups.
Creamy, sweet and delicious, but with a
light vodka kick. 360 Double Chocolate
Vodka is distilled six times for maximum
purity and made, like everything at 360,
under eco-friendly conditions.
Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur
If you like the original Chocolate Liqueur,
tr y one of their newer varieties, such
as White Chocolate. Made with real
Madagascar vanilla and Godiva chocolate,
this is soft and sophisticated with a light,
smooth finish. It's perfect for mixing a
White Russian Martini or a Chocolate
Martini.
