This pretzel, chocolate and rum "freakshake" is SO dreamy!
Apr 6, 2024
This show-stopping boozy chocolate milkshake takes the classic "hard shake" to new levels of Wonka-esque deliciousness with its mix of Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur, rum and pretzels.
With salted caramel ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate brownies added for an extra indulgent treat, this gloriously over-the-top cocktail is not to be missed...
The recipe for this delightfully decadent treat starts with one of our favourite chocolate cream liqueurs: Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur.
Made in Salzburg, Austria, this high-quality chocolate liqueur is created using only the finest West African cocoa and Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar. They give the liqueur a truly remarkable flavour profile and wonderfully full-bodied, creamy texture that is simply divine.
We love mixing Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur with gin, and you can find a fabulous Hot Cross Bun-flavoured gin cocktail below, but here we are mixing Mozart with rum.
Rum's deep, complex caramel, spice, and vanilla tones are the perfect match for both Craft Gin Club's Caramel Syrup and Mozart's chocolatey flavours - that's why we just had to include Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur in our April Rum of the Month box.
Salted caramel ice cream then adds more traditional toffee notes and that all-important touch of salt to balance out the sweetness of the drink.
All of the above complement the biscuity, bready pretzel garnishes to give you a truly special cocktail experience.
We have suggested a range of other garnishes to accompany the pretzels, which we think will satisfy any sweet-toothed cocktail-lover, but feel free to mix these up and add your own favourite sweet snacks. This is a "freakshake" after all, so anything goes!
We can't wait for you to give this a try...
