Our friends at Awake Chocolate (yep, that’s caffeinated chocolate for those that don’t know… and yes, chocolate has caffeine to begin with) challenged us to take a classic cocktail and add chocolate.
Chef Christian answered with… Apple Cinnamon… Chocolate… Manhattan. None of those words go together and yet this drink is absolutely delicious. So, if you want to be awake on a sugar high and with a bit of a buzz… this is the drink for you. Indulge accordingly (and responsibly).
