Drink of the Day: Toreador

November 20, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Tequila drinks are common in summertime cocktails. But, you never hear about them in dessert style drinks. Here’s one I think you will enjoy.

The combination of agave and chocolate should be done more often. I think you will agree when you taste this cocktail for the first time. Plus, an added bonus - we will be adding whipped cream to this to enhance it even more. How can you go wrong with whipped cream?! This and the cocoa powder is what puts the icing on the cake in regards to this Drink of the Day. What a perfect after dinner treat. With it being Thursday, with only one more day to go before we head into the weekend, you may want to chance two of these before calling it a night.

Enjoy your day today. Hard to believe we are just a week away from Thanksgiving. This year has gone fast! Let’s slow it down just a little bit to enjoy every sip of this dessert beverage. Cheers!
