The sun may be scorching but World Chocolate Day is less than 2 weeks away. The expert chocolatiers, Elizabeth Shaw have teamed up with Pinkster gin for a twist on their perfect serve – a delicious (and cold) way to enjoy chocolate.

Pinkster Gin traditionally uses a sprig of mint to complement its raspberry flavour profile, which is where Elizabeth Shaw comes in; known for their Mint Chocolates, the Mint Chocolate Flutes pair with the cocktail, as well as acting as an edible stirrer to finish the cocktail.

Ingredients:

50 ml Pinkster Gin

Fever-Tree tonic

Method:

Build in an ice filled glass. Stir together with an Elizabeth Shaw Mint Chocolate Flute. 

Garnish:

A raspberry and a sprig of fresh mint.
