CHOCOLATE CAKE COCKTAIL

After date night, my husband and I decided to indulge in a night cap - I thought this cocktail would be perfect - like dessert but without the calories of a slice of chocolate cake.
The description enchanted me, declaring that "this drink, when consumed in one gulp, followed by sucking the lemon slice, produces the flavor of having just taken a bite of warm chocolate cake" (Arkansas Democrat Gazette, October, 2005).
However, I completely missed any chocolate taste! It may have been because I sipped my drink rather than guzzled, or because there is nothing in the recipe that remotely resembles chocolate.

CHOCOLATE CAKE COCKTAIL


lemon slice
sugar
ice
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce Frangelico

Rub shot glass rim with lemon. Dip rim in sugar to coat. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in vodka and Frangelico. Strain into shot glass.
Enjoy!

  1. I don't think it's possible for that to taste chocolate cake like? There's nothing in there to give that taste!

    However, I will certainly give it a go!
