Hotel Chocolat - chocolate AND cocktails. Together?!

I happened to be wandering around High St Kensington the other day when I stumbled upon a branch of Hotel Chocolat. This shop in question wasn't just a shop, but a cafe too! Heaven!



Spoilt for choice I had to dedicate a good 15 minutes to a proper perusal before spotting what I imagined to be pretty awful. Chocs to Chill. Cocktail chocolates. My past experience of liquer chocolates had me ready to pass these by but I was about to be accosted by a lovely lady thrusting a tray of Margarita flavour chocolates my way. Never one to turn down a free chocolate I thought I'd give them a go - and wow! I'm glad I did. They are genuinely hard to describe but suffice to say that omnomnomnomnom would do the trick.

They are designed to be chilled for an hour or so in the fridge and then can be devoured as you please. The feast of cocktail flavours that awaits you includes the aforementioned Margarita as well as Mojito, Cosmopolitan, Chocolate Martini and Polish Kitten. They also have shelf upon shelf of other chocolate delights so if the idea of combining chocolate AND cocktails really doesn't float your boat (but give it a try anyway) there is still plenty to lust after. Mmmmmmmmm!!
