Cocktail Description

The Princess Mary transforms the traditional fizz into a sophisticated adult milkshake, where gin's botanical bite meets chocolate's seductive sweetness.

Each sip delivers a fascinating interplay between the juniper-forward profile of Beefeater and the creamy chocolate liqueur, softened by the velvety texture of cream. This cocktail strikes an impressive balance—not too sweet, not too spirit-forward—making it an excellent dessert cocktail for dinner parties or an indulgent nightcap. Despite its elegant appearance, it's surprisingly straightforward to make, requiring only three ingredients and a good shake with ice. The Princess Mary pairs beautifully with desserts featuring dark chocolate or fresh berries, but it's equally at home alongside savory nibbles like salted nuts or aged cheese, where its sweetness provides a delightful contrast.
