Nightcap Cocktail: Chocolate Old Fashioned
This isn’t your average old fashioned—it’s richer, moodier, and perfect for the final clink of the night. Cocoa bitters and a touch of chocolate shavings give this classic cocktail a smooth, just-sweet-enough twist. Serve it over a big cube, garnish with an orange twist, and let the evening linger.

1 sugar cube
2 dashes chocolate bitters
