This serve is best enjoyed well chilled for a smooth, rich and refreshing experience.

What does expert mixologist and On The Rocks Global Brand Ambassador, Joaquín Simó, have to say about this release?
- "In order to create a bar-quality cocktail experience in a bottle, balance always comes first," said On The Rocks Global Brand Ambassador and expert mixologist, Joaquín Simó. "Chocolate can be a tricky flavor to balance in a cocktail because it can easily overpower other ingredients. With the smooth character of EFFEN® Vodka as our base, we found the right balance of decadent milk chocolate and rich dark cocoa notes to create indulgently layered aromas and flavors."
