Review

Scotch soured with lime (works better than lemon) and sweetened with a touch of chocolate liqueur.

lemon is a better pair with chocolate for my taste, but I thought I hated this drink after the first sip and after that it was still delightful

It genuinely is like a Scotch Cacao Daiquiri. Rather refreshing, but also delightfully chocolate-y. It seems to also bring out the malt of the Blended Scotch a little more, which is interesting.

Wanted to make it less boozy so used half whiskey but 5mls each cacaos, a drizzle of syrup, 1 good dash bitters and 10ml lime. Decorated with a Luxardo cherry for a bit added sweetness

Didn't nix the sugar syrup, did add two dashes of cocoa bitters per people's tips here. Scotch, lime and chocolate make for odd bedfellows - but it works, and I like it.

I've added the worthy addition of Cocoa Bitters and subtly tweaked my recipe. Many thanks.

Lime and chocolate will always sit a bit strange with me.

I joined Sally and John, I made mine without the simple syrup and used 2 dashes of Angostura cocoa bitters! Very Nice, hey Simon the link to your Mulata Daquiri is broken. Thanks for everything!

A tad too sweet for me- dropped the sugar syrup to 5ml and added 2 drops chocolate bitters and it upped it’s game considerably

Excellent mixture of Scotch and cacao. May try with a dash of chocolate bitters.

Yeah, tasty. May have put the lime in twice, but if so, it worked. ;-)
