Hotel Chocolat Vodka Espresso Martini Chocolate Velvetised Cream - Award-Winning Chocolate Cream, 500ml, 12% vol - Gifts For Birthday, Thank you, Father's day 2026

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish Black Forest gateau came in liquid form,” well here we are. This bottle from Hotel Chocolat is basically dessert that decided to get glamorous. It’s rich, velvety smooth, properly chocolatey, with that subtle cherry note that gives full Black Forest vibes. The vodka base keeps it grown-up, but it’s so creamy and indulgent you almost forget there’s alcohol involved. Almost. Not too strong and good value for money. Nice size bottle that will probably keep. Over ice it’s ridiculously good. In a chilled glass straight from the fridge? Even better. It feels like something you’d pour after dinner when you want to impress people or just impress yourself on a quiet night in. It’s decadent without being overly heavy, sweet but balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. Definitely one of those bottles you say you’ll “save for a special occasion” and then somehow the special occasion becomes Tuesday

I picked up Hotel Chocolat Velvetised Chocolate Cream expecting a nice little treat. What I actually got was a deliciously smooth chocolate ambush. The first sip was so rich and velvety that I briefly considered cancelling all future dessert plans because this bottle had already won. It's like someone melted a luxury chocolate shop, added a splash of cream, and somehow made it socially acceptable to drink. The texture is ridiculously smooth. Not "smooth for a liqueur" smooth—I'm talking "silk pyjamas sliding down a polished banister" smooth. Every sip tastes like a chocolate truffle got promoted to management. The bottle says 500ml, but I'm fairly certain it shrinks when nobody is looking. One minute it's full, the next you're staring at the bottom wondering who drank it. My only criticism is that it has set impossibly high standards for every other chocolate drink in existence. Everything else now tastes like it was made by someone who has only heard rumours about chocolate.

Daughter enjoyed this, even though she said it smelt "strange" the taste was good.

wonderful drink 😋
