MOLÉ-TINI The Mixologist: Graham Kimura
The Brand: 360 Vodka Double Chocolate
Roses are red, violets are blue, green means sustainable and we choose you: The first eco-friendly, sustainable vodka in recycled, re- usable bottles with a swing top. 360 Vodka introduced its Double Chocolate flavor last year to rave reviews and this recipe takes mere (double) mocha to a Latin heat with Mexican spices.
THE POTION:
❤ 2 oz. 360 Double Chocolate Vodka ❤ 1/8 oz. espresso ❤ 6–8 drops of Bittermens Xocolatl Molé Bitters
❤ 2 oz. cream ❤ Rim glass with combination of
Passilla chile, Mexican chocolate, sugar and salt.
"All five senses explode after tasting this. Best rim ever! —Rio Sabadicci "A chocolate-lover's dream. Intense cocoa with a sexy-silky finish. A lady killer." —Chris McInerny
