What is Licor 43 Chocolate?

Chocolate the Spanish way

Licor 43 drew inspiration for this bottle from the Spanish chocolate tradition. Licor 43 Chocolate combines the familiar flavor of Licor 43 Original with cacao from 100% sustainable cultivation and cream. It is a limited edition, so it is not always available.

At 16% alcohol, it is considerably lighter than the 31% Original and, like Horchata, Crème Brûlée and Speculoos, is one of the creamy variants. The vanilla and citrus of the Original are still present, but chocolate takes center stage. That makes it a liqueur for after dinner: neat and chilled in a small glass, or in a cocktail that calls for crème de cacao.

How to drink it

Three ways to serve Licor 43 Chocolate

Chocolate is a dessert in itself. Serve it chilled, over ice or warm in hot chocolate.

As a dessert shot

30 ml chilled Licor 43 Chocolate in a shot glass, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream and some grated dark chocolate. Dessert is served.

Glass: shot glass →

Over ice

50 ml over two large ice cubes in a tumbler. The meltwater makes it lighter and brings the cacao into sharper focus.

Tumblers →

In hot chocolate

30 ml Licor 43 Chocolate in 150 ml hot chocolate, in a mug or an Irish coffee glass. Chocolate on chocolate, with a hint of vanilla.
