Notes
Pro Tips
A few small choices can make this drink feel even smoother and more dialed in. None of these takes much time, but they can shift the texture or flavor to suit your taste better.- Use cold cream so the drink does not thin out too quickly.
- Dissolve the sugar in the liqueur first for a silkier texture.
- Chill the glass in the fridge for a few minutes before building the drink.
- Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup inside the glass for more dessert flavor.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer for the cocoa powder so it falls to a light dusting.
- Try flavored rum, like vanilla, for a slightly sweeter profile.
- Use demerara sugar on the rim for a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
- Garnish with shaved dark chocolate for an extra touch.
