Raspberry Truffle Cocktail Ingredients:
It takes just 3 ingredients to make a totally tasty Raspberry Truffle
Cocktail. To whip one up, you'll need:
- Chocolate milk - Serves as the chocolate base of the Raspberry Truffle Cocktail. Use your favorite brand of prepared chocolate milk from the grocery store -- the Promised Land Dairy brand "Midnight Chocolate" we used for this post's photo shoot is amazing! Or, substitute chocolate almond milk for a non-dairy version. If you prefer, you could also mix up your own chocolate milk with regular milk and chocolate syrup -- be sure to mix it on the strong chocolate side.
- Vanilla vodka - The sweetness of vanilla vodka goes nicely with the cocktail's other sweet elements, creating a very smooth and flavorful drink. You can substitute regular plain vodka, if you'd like.
- Raspberry liqueur - Brings the raspberry element to the Raspberry Truffle Cocktail. We use DeKuyper brand Razzmatazz. Chambord is another great option.
How to Make a Raspberry Truffle Cocktail:
Whipping up a Raspberry Truffle Cocktail (or several) truly couldn't
be any easier. -- It's simply warming three cocktail ingredients in a
pan. I just love that it's deliciousness is that easy!
To get one started, pour prepared chocolate milk into a saucepan. Then
warm it over medium heat to heat the chocolate milk through -- do not bring
it to a boil.
Remove the saucepan of chocolate milk from the heat and add some
vanilla vodka and raspberry liqueur. Give the mixture a little stir to
combine the ingredients.
Then pour the warm mixture into a mug, and you're good to
go.
If you'd like to enjoy your Raspberry Truffle Cocktails chilled, then
just combine the ingredients together cold, skipping the step of
warming the chocolate milk.
Top each mugful with a dollop of whipped cream and some chocolate
shavings for a little extra fun, then sip away to enjoy.
And enjoy, oh I think you will. Because this tasty Raspberry Truffle
Cocktail delivers up truly fabulous chocolate-raspberry flavor in
every sip.
