Toblerone Cocktail Recipe

I recently mixed up a cocktail with vodka, hazelnut and chocolate liqueurs, heavy cream, and a splash of chocolate syrup, then topped it off with crumbled Toblerone pieces, and honestly, it’s kinda like a sweet, boozy hug on a rough day.

My Toblerone Cocktail has become a favorite of mine. I mix a vodka I like with nutty and chocolate liqueurs, cream and a bit of syrup for a rich blend.

I love how the crumbled Toblerone bits garnish it and yes its calorie count is a bit high.

Ingredients

• Vodka gives the cocktail a potent punch.

  It adds little nutrients and very few carbs.

• Frangelico brings a nutty sweetness with natural hazelnut flavors and a hint of spice.
• Chocolate liqueur adds deep cocoa flavor and extra carbs that makes it super sweet.
• Heavy cream lends a smooth, creamy texture that is rich but high in fats and calories.
• Chocolate syrup sweetens the drink with an intense cocoa taste that is sugary and bold.
• Toblerone pieces garnish the cocktail with crunchy texture and extra nutty chocolate flair.

• 1.5 oz vodka (choose one you like)
• 1 oz Frangelico hazelnut liqueur

Toblerone Cocktail Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have vodka, white rum can work pretty well too. It gives a slightly different twist but still smooth.
• For Frangelico hazelnut liqueur, you can make a quick swap by mixing hazelnut syrup with a small splash of extra vodka. It’ll keep that nutty flavor intact.
• If you’re out of chocolate liqueur, dark creme de cacao is a solid alternative that works just fine in this cocktail.
• Instead of heavy cream, try using half-and-half. It’s lighter but still adds that creamy texture you need.
• When you dont have chocolate syrup, melting some chocolate and stirring in a little sugar gives a similar rich drizzle.

Pro Tips

1. First off, make sure you really get that glass nice and chilled. Fill it up with ice water and set it aside while you mix up your drink. It seriously helps keep things colder longer when you serve it.

2. When you’re shaking everything together in your shaker, don’t worry about being too gentle. Grab it firmly and shake it for about 15 seconds. I know it might seem kind of over-doing it, but a good shake really makes all the flavors mix together well.

3. Be careful with how many ice cubes you put in the shaker. You want enough to chill things, but too many can water your cocktail down. Use just a few big cubes so you don’t end up with a watered-down drink.

4. Lastly, the garnish is more important than you might think. Crumble your Toblerone pieces in a way that gives you a mix of small bits and some chunks. This adds a cool texture and gives your cocktail a little extra wow factor.
