I tried the new Baileys Chocolate and it is divine – how to make a chocolate cocktail

As a nation of Baileys lovers, a new delicious blend recently landed on shelves, .

The new drink blends the indulgent flavours of Irish Cream with delicious Belgian chocolate for the ultimate treat drink.

Charlotte Gibbon, director of Gins, Pimms, Baileys and Non-alc at Diageo GB, said: “This might just be our sweetest launch yet, we’re so excited to bring UK fans another unmissable Baileys treat, Baileys Chocolate.

“The perfect adult treat to relax with as cosy season approaches, and consumers are looking for something sweet to brighten up the darker days. I’ll be having mine over ice.”

I stored mine in the fridge before opening it and serving a small amount over ice.

I’m a huge Baileys lover so was sure I was going to like this variety and it was absolutely delicious.

It’s the perfect festive drink, perfect for after dinner if you fancy a tipple. The consistency is lovely and thick, meaning it doubled up as a pudding for me too.

I personally loved this drink straight on ice, but it can be added to a cocktail or poured over your favourite dessert.

It launched in supermarkets on September 17, starting in Tesco and will be rolling out across other major supermarkets across October. It retails for £16.50 for a bottle and is definitely worth the price tag.

Baileys Chocolate Mocha Martini Recipe

To begin, add all the ingredients (except the garnishes) into a cocktail shaker with ice.

Shake away before straining it into a coupe or martini glass.

For the finishing touch, garnish with three espresso beans, a dusting of cocoa powder, and chocolate shavings.

Last year, to see if cheaper alternatives could beat the nation’s favourite.

I also tested which often get released closer to Christmas.
