How to make some of our favourite Cocao cocktails at home
16 Oct 2015
To celebrate the launch of our innovative new cocoa bitters, we’ve decided to share some of our best-loved cocktail recipes, as perfected by our dedicated mixologists in our Borough Market bar and restaurant – Rabot 1745.
Our cocoa bitters really help to bring together the sweet and sour elements of any recipe, while also providing a unique flavour to the drink. We’ve worked hard on creating a list of classic cocktails where the use of cocoa helps to enhance the subtleties of the base spirits and bind the drinks together, especially in the Rabot Rum Sour which is a firm favourite here.
