Okay, so I saw this “360 Double Chocolate Vodka” and thought, “Ooh, sounds fancy, I gotta try making some cocktails with that!” So, I went and grabbed a bottle.
The First Attempt: Straight Up
First things first, I wanted to taste it on its own. I poured a little into a shot glass and took a sip. It was pretty strong, with a good hit of chocolate, but also that undeniable vodka burn. Definitely not something I’d want to drink a lot of straight, but I could see the potential.
Experimenting with Mixers
Next, I decided to try it with some basic mixers. I’m no bartender, so I kept it simple:
- With Cola: Classic combo, right? The cola kinda masked the chocolate a bit, but it was still a decent drink. Like a boozy chocolate soda.
- With Cream Soda: This one was surprisingly good. It made the whole thing taste like a chocolate milkshake, but with a kick. Definitely recommend this.
- With Orange Juice: This was… a mistake. It just didn’t work. The flavors clashed, and it tasted weirdly sour. Don’t do it.
Getting a Little Fancier
I felt like I had to attempt something with the words, double chocolate. So I made my own little concoction.
- I used the 360 Double chocolate vodka, and I used some chocolate syrup and a little bit of cream.
I put them into a cocktail shaker that I had lying around with ice, shaked it up, and strained it into my glass.
It came out pretty alright, next time I might add just a small dash of something to give it a kick.
The Verdict
Overall, the 360 Double Chocolate Vodka is a fun ingredient to play around with. It’s not something I’d drink all the time, but it’s definitely good for making some interesting and tasty cocktails. Just, uh, maybe skip the orange juice.
