A Muddled Thoughts- Holiday Gift Guide:Tanteo Chocolate Tequila
While we looked at Tanteo Tequila’s Chocolate offering, earlier this year, we decided with the holidays coming up, to take another look at it both as a stand alone spirit as well as in some new cocktails.
Tanteo Chocolate Tequila starts off with a nose of smokey cocoa.
This nose is followed up with a spirit filled with characters of milk chocolate coupled with slight hint of smokiness, creating a balanced flavor of a melted milk chocolate, with occasional hints of hazelnut.
With being the only chocolate flavored Tequila on the market, Tanteo makes for an interesting gift for anyone who enjoys a different kind of spirit or tequila.
While it can sipped neat, Tanteo’s Chocolate really begins to show its talents in cocktails. Here’s a few new ones to try …
