Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters (14.6cl, 53%)

Xocolatl Mole Bitters from Bittermens are cocktail bitters inspired by traditional Mexican mole sauces. They are bottled at 53% vol in a 146ml bottle. Chocolate sits at the centre, joined by rich spices and a hint of heat. They suit an Old-Fashioned, a Manhattan or a Margarita, and a few drops can also go into hot chocolate or coffee. On the nose they are warm and spicy with a note of chocolate, like spiced cocoa. The palate is deep, with cocoa, cinnamon, a whisper of chilli heat and light floral notes. The finish is lingering and warming.
