Our Cocoa Bean Vodka has been very popular since we launched it in our tasting rooms over a decade ago, and now we are finally ready to release this to be sold online!
The Cocoa Bean Vodka uses our Wheat Vodka as the base, and we add dark cocoa nibs and navel oranges to infuse into the vodka for 3-6 months. Once the infusion is done, we strain the cocoa nibs and oranges, bottle it up and it's ready to drink! Because we don't add any sugar to this spirit, it has a nice natural bakers chocolate flavor and finishes with a touch of citrus from the oranges.
We suggest pairing this vodka with coffee flavors in drinks such as an Espresso Martini or a White Russian. It also pairs well as an easy 2 ingredient drink with cream soda, or if you love chocolate martinis this is a great base to build on for a rich chocolate cocktail! See below for some recipes to get you inspired to make some drinks at home.
