I had a shitty day today and this is exactly the right drink to keep me company on the couch. It’s extremely decadent. Beautiful with Hennessy VS.

Sumptuously rich, sweet, and voluptuous. The raisin flavor from the sherry is a spectacular complement to the chocolate and orange of the liqueurs. A perfect nightcap for those who want something decadent to inspire their dreams.
