PR Chocolate Liqueur Essence 20 ml

PR Chocolate Liqueur Essence 20 ml

This is the liqueur for everyone who secretly thinks pudding is the high point of dinner. Where many bar liqueurs are made to disappear into cocktails, chocolate liqueur is a pleasure in its own right: generous, sweet and unmistakably chocolatey, like warm chocolate sauce that has come of age. One small glass after the meal is enough to replace both the box of chocolates and the dessert.

Chocolate Liqueur Essence gives a liqueur in the soft, milk-chocolate style – less roasted bitterness, more toffee and creamy roundness. That makes it a safe choice when you want to offer something everybody round the table will enjoy, and it is also a little secret weapon in the kitchen: few things lift a bowl of vanilla ice cream as effortlessly as a slow ribbon of chocolate liqueur.

Colour & Appearance

The finished liqueur is a warm chocolate brown, opaque in the bottle but with soft brown tones against the light. The texture is syrupy and generous, and the liqueur coats the inside of the glass like a thin chocolate sauce.

Nose

The nose is pure chocolate happiness: freshly melted milk chocolate, cocoa and home-made chocolate sauce. Then come vanilla sugar and cream toffee, and a faint note of roasted nuts that brings to mind a newly opened box of chocolates.

Palate

The palate is sweet, round and broad. First come chocolate sauce and milk chocolate, then a layer of cocoa that lends a little structure, and finally toffee and vanilla to tie everything together. There are no sharp edges here – the bitterness is toned down and the sweetness is allowed to take its place, just as in a piece of soft milk chocolate. The mouthfeel is thick and velvety, and the warmth of the spirit only creeps in towards the end.

Finish

The finish is soft and medium-long, with toffee, cocoa and vanilla slowly fading away. What remains is the feeling of having just eaten a piece of chocolate – and the urge to have another.

How to Use

The essence is mixed with vodka or neutral spirit and sugar. 20 ml makes 750 ml of finished chocolate liqueur. Instructions are on the label.

Serving Suggestions

• Drizzled over vanilla ice cream with chopped nuts – a dessert in thirty seconds.
• A splash in hot chocolate with whipped cream on a cold evening.
• Chocolate martini: shaken with vodka and ice, served in a chilled glass.
• With milk or cream over ice as a silky, grown-up chocolate drink.
• In coffee instead of sugar, or stirred into the batter for a gooey chocolate cake.

About the Essence
