Coconut Chocolate Cocktail
Ingredients:
Ganache
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Drink
- 2 tablespoons Redstone Coconut Balsamic
- 5 oz. milk 2% or whole for ultimate creaminess
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1-2 oz. Malibu coconut rum can substitute coconut syrup - optional
- 1-2 oz. Brugal rum or a dark rum like Meyer's - optional
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon toasted coconut
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings
Instructions:
Ganache - optional
- Heat heavy cream in the microwave or on the stovetop until just before boiling.
- Pour cream over chocolate chips in an open bowl (so that there is room to dip the glass in).
- Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes so that the chocolate can begin melting.
- Stir or whisk until the mixture is a smooth ganache.
- Dip the rim of the glass into the mixture. Tap the glass gently to encourage the ganache to drip down the sides.
