Be careful with the chocolate bitters. It must remain subtle, barely discernible, but it adds a unique twist to the drink in the right amount.
And it's a really nice one btw, first 1-2 sips I wasn't sure since the flavour combination is quite unique but really liked it after that.
This cocktail was created by myself and my team back in 2009 or 2010 when I was a bar manager at Salon 39.
