The Holy Noche

Five readers love this post.
This cocktail is a real palate pleaser and has profound depth and warm indulgent flavor. Creme de Cacao plays a mighty role here and mingles quite nicely with Creme de Mure and agave making for quite an orchestra of beautiful flavors. It is reminiscent of eating chocolate covered blackberries and having a margarita without being too rich in flavors thanks to the acid from the lemon, along with the pinch of sea salt to provide that salty versus sweet decadent experience. There's no fault an enjoying every last drop and to imbibe on a spiritual cocktail journey while enjoying the Holy Noche. Cheers and imbibe well
