For our Dharmag about whiskey, we could not miss a chance to make a themed cocktail.
It’s a sweet, aphrodisiac cocktail made with chocolate, whisky, vanilla and nutmeg, nothing too difficult, we could say it’s a kind of boozy chocolate milkshake for adults!
The peculiarity of this cocktail is the presence of coconut milk that makes it creamy and mysterious, another little touch is given by the pistachio cream.
Sure, chocolate is very domineering, but the pistachio cream leaves its mark and adds a sumptuous note.
