Tasting Notes

The Toblerone Cocktail is rich, creamy, and perfect for dessert. It blends the smoothness of white rum with the nutty flavor of Frangelico and the creamy sweetness of Bailey’s. Coffee liqueur adds a bold coffee note that cuts through the richness and balances the flavors. Half-and-half and simple syrup give the drink a silky, smooth texture, while the egg adds body and creates a luxurious foam on top. Garnished with shaved chocolate, every sip has a hint of sweetness and a subtle nutty aroma, making this cocktail both comforting and flavorful.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker to properly combine and chill the ingredients. Because this recipe uses an egg, a strong shake is essential to create a smooth, frothy texture. A jigger ensures accurate measurements, and a fine strainer will help achieve a silky pour. Serve this drink in a coupe glass to showcase its smooth surface and foamy top. A microplane or fine grater is perfect for shaving the chocolate garnish. Chill your glass in the freezer before serving to keep the drink cold and smooth.

Ingredients

2 oz white rum
0.75 oz Baileys Irish Cream
0.75 oz Frangelico
0.75 oz coffee liqueur
0.5 oz half and half
0.5 oz simple syrup
1 egg
Garnish: grated Toblerone or other chocolate

Instructions

Add all ingredients (including the egg) to a shaker without ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to create a rich foam.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Top with a generous sprinkle of grated Toblerone or chocolate shavings.

Pro Tips

For the smoothest texture, use a dry shake (without ice) first to emulsify the egg, then shake again with ice.
Always use fresh eggs and check for quality before adding them to cocktails.
If you prefer a lighter version, use whole milk instead of half-and-half.
For extra flavor, try using a flavored espresso liqueur like vanilla or chocolate.
Chill the coupe glass ahead of time to keep the drink cold longer, and garnish with chocolate shavings right before serving to keep them fresh and aromatic.

When to Serve

The Toblerone Cocktail is perfect as a dessert drink or after-dinner treat. It’s a great way to end a special meal or to serve during holiday celebrations. This cocktail also works well for cozy nights in, date nights, or small gatherings where you want to serve something rich and satisfying. Because of its sweet, indulgent flavors, it’s an ideal choice for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or any time you’re celebrating with something a little special.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the white rum, use a smooth brand like Bacardi Superior or Don Q Cristal.
Bailey’s is the classic choice for Irish cream, but other brands like Carolans or Five Farms also work well.
Frangelico is the go-to for hazelnut liqueur, but if you’re looking for something different, try Nocello.
For coffee liqueur, Kahlúa is a popular option, but Mr Black offers a richer coffee flavor.
Use fresh, high-quality eggs, and for garnish, Toblerone is the classic pick, but any good milk chocolate will work.
