Mocha-Berry
A luscious hot cocktail that marries the bitterness of fresh coffee with the sweetness of raspberry liqueur and rich cocoa, finished with a cloud of whipped cream.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by roasted coffee beans and dark cocoa with a distinct berry undertone. On the palate, bitter chocolate and coffee contrast with the sugary raspberry liqueur. The whipped cream provides a thick, velvety texture that coats the mouth. The finish is warm and lingers with a tart fruit sweetness.
