Cocktail Description

Hiding behind its elegant veneer of chocolate powder, the Mocha Masquerade reveals itself as a luxurious dessert cocktail that transforms premium cognac into a velvety indulgence.

This opulent concoction marries the rich complexity of Hennessy V.S with the deep roasted notes of Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, while Giffard Crème de Cacao adds a sophisticated chocolate undertone. The addition of cream, egg yolk, and mascarpone creates a silky, custard-like texture that coats the palate with each sip. Perfect for after-dinner sipping, this cocktail makes an impressive finale to a special meal or celebration, though it's equally suitable for a cozy night in when you're craving something decadent. While it requires several specialty ingredients and a bit of technique to achieve the perfect shake, the effort pays off in its luxurious mouthfeel. Pair this rich cocktail with simple desserts like shortbread cookies or fresh berries to complement rather than compete with its complex flavors.
