Cocktail No 23 Chocolate Soldier

Considering this only contains 2 teaspoons of Crème de Cacao, the chocolate taste is surprisingly noticeable.

Its very refreshing, partly because the blending ensures its more chilled than a shaker or mixing glass delivers, but there is more to it. The immediate taste is chocolate, followed by the crispness of the Dry Vermouth, then Brandy flavoured Chocolate replaces this to fill the mouth. You have that feeling of a film around your teeth and the Chocolate continues to repeat.

That is a very pleasant surprise and so completely different to what I imagined it was going to taste like. I think I shall try this again.

Recipe

Add 2 Ice cubes, 1 measure of brandy and 3/4 measure of Dry Vermouth to an electric blender. Add 2 teaspoons of Crème de Cacao and a dash of Orange Bitters. Blend and pour into a shallow goblet (which I don't have so its in a tumbler instead.
