Chocolate Mojito

Recipe for today, since I love chocolate, is the Mayan Chocolate Mojito.

1 ½ oz simple syrup
Ice
2 ½ oz white cacao liqueur
½ oz dark rum
Garnish: 4 mint leaves
Glassware: High ball glass

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime pieces with the simple syrup and three of the mint leaves. Then strain into an ice-filled high ball glass. Add the Cacao liquor, top with the rum and garnish with the remaining mint leaf.

According to the site where I found this recipe, ChocolateAtlas.com, "The Mayan Chocolate Mojito was created by Karisma Hotels Resorts on the Riviera Maya, Mexico. It’s the perfect solution for chocophiles who are having trouble choosing between dessert and a late night aperitif."
