The BEST Chocolate Old Fashioned? (Thirsty Thursday)

Tonight, we’re giving a beloved classic a sensational spin as we craft the Spiced Chocolate Old Fashioned. This isn’t just any old fashioned; it’s a decadent twist that infuses rich cocoa notes, intriguing spices, and a touch of chili heat into the familiar whiskey and bitters combination. If you’re someone who appreciates a cocktail with both sweetness and sophisticated complexity, this is the drink for you!

Join us as we guide you through the effortless, step-by-step process of creating this delightful libation. We’re elevating this Old Fashioned with a carefully curated lineup: premium Bourbon, luxurious Crème de Cacao, aromatic Aztec Chocolate Bitters, and complex Mole Bitters.

The magic truly happens with our bitters selection. The Aztec Chocolate and Mole Bitters don’t just bring chocolate notes; they introduce a symphony of spices, a subtle chili warmth, and a deeper, savory character that will elevate this Old Fashioned to new heights. And by using Crème de Cacao as our sweetener, we’re not only adding a luscious chocolate depth but also a silky, velvety texture that simple syrup simply can’t replicate, resulting in a richer, more intensely flavored experience.
