Hot Cocktail

Cocktail with dessert? or cocktail for dessert?

This cocktail was invented by Stuart, who's wife asked us to come and make cocktails for her 40th birthday. They provided all the alcohol and ingredients, we helped them out by providing the bar, glassware, cocktail making equipment and a couple of cocktail bartenders. On our list was "Stuart's Cocktail" which he called a Chocolate Marshmallow. He'd invented it because he didn't find any of the other cocktails chocolatey enough. I tasted it and it's definitely worth trying, who would've known alcohol could go so well with Milo??

Chocolate Marshmallow

  • 30ml Bacchus Chocolate whip
  • 30ml Chocolate Vanilla cream
  • 15ml Butterscotch Schnapps
  • 30ml Milk
  • couple of drops of Vanilla extract
  • 2 Heped teaspoonfuls of Milo
  • Pinch of chocolate shavings
  • 2 mini marshmallows on a toothpick

Place ingredients into an ice filled shaker and shake. strain into a martini glass and sprinkle on chocolate shavings. Finish with the marshmallow skewer on top.

 

 

 

 

3 Hot Cocktails from a Hens night in June!

These 3 cocktails were invented by the girls at a Hen's night after us putting them through their paces with a couple of games and testing their taste buds. Their were 3 teams and they all had input into the final product, this meant some interesting cocktails made with their own sense of style.
