Here are all the tips you need to make the best cocoa-infused single malt whisky cocktails for a new flavour profile for your cocktail nights.
Robust single malts will pair really well with dark chocolate in intensity, so fuse the two for best results.
Cocoa has nutty and slightly fruity notes and so do some single malts. Look out for these when pairing them up.
Try pairing single malts with fruity chocolates like raspberry or orange-infused ones for a unique contrast.
For single malts with peaty tones, try to match up dark chocolate for a smoky-sweet balance and an intriguing flavour.
Lighter and smoother malts pair well with milk or sweet chocolates, while more intense malts go well with chocolates with higher cocoa percentages.
Before crafting out your cocktail, do a taste test by sipping on the whisky, nibbling on the chocolate and see how the combined taste feels.
