Florescence Chocolate Orange Martini
Florescence is grapefruit & pomelo flavored primarily, but did you know that satsuma and mandarin are strong secondary flavors in our stunning award-winning vodka? We thought the citrus and chocolate would make the most delightful chocolate orange martini. The bitterness in the chocolate and coffee play against the orange notes in the vodka, and surprisingly that mandarin is the first flavor to hit the palette. The finish is smooth and creamy. Perfect to enjoy by the fireside while twinkly lights dance across the room from the Christmas tree! Single & Batch recipes below!
