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 recently bought this Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur, and I must say, it was a truly extraordinary experience. In fact, I would confidently state that it is the best cream liqueur I have ever tasted. From the moment I poured it into my glass, I was captivated by its rich, velvety texture. The aroma alone was enough to transport me to a luxurious coffeehouse, with enticing notes of freshly brewed espresso and a subtle hint of sweetness. Upon taking my first sip, I was instantly enchanted by the perfectly balanced flavors. The smooth, robust essence of espresso was expertly fused with a luscious creaminess, creating a harmonious blend that danced on my taste buds. Each sip was a decadent treat, offering a delightful interplay between the bold coffee notes and the luxurious cream base. What truly sets this Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur apart is its impeccable quality and craftsmanship. The ingredients used are of the highest standard, evident in the flawless execution of its flavor profile. It's evident that great care and attention to detail went into creating this masterpiece. The only drawback, albeit a minor one, is that the bottle size is not as generous as I would prefer. This captivating elixir is so delightful that it leaves me longing for more, and I would love to see it offered in a larger size to satisfy my cravings. In conclusion, the Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur is an absolute triumph. It has set a new standard for excellence in the world of cream liqueurs. I would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone seeking an indulgent, coffee-infused delight. I can confidently say that I will be a repeat customer, eagerly savoring every drop of this extraordinary libation.

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

You think it’s going to be like Baileys and then you taste the most incredible rum and raisin flavour. Throughly enjoyed it. My only criticism is there wasn’t more in the bottle!

Sweet, nice. Doesn't keep long, drink it in one night!

Lovely Can taste the rum. Great gift

These Hotel Chocolat drinks are a real treat. I bought a selection and every one has been beautifully smooth and rich without being sickly. They taste properly indulgent and feel far more special than standard chocolate liqueurs. The velvety chocolate flavour is spot on and works just as well poured over ice as it does stirred into hot milk or added to coffee. The salted caramel version in particular is gorgeous and the espresso martini flavour feels very grown up and balanced. They are perfect for evenings in, entertaining, or as a gift. The bottles look smart and feel premium, and a little goes a long way. If you enjoy chocolate drinks or dessert style liqueurs, these are well worth it. A proper luxury and one I would happily buy again.

Gorgeous! I love rum and I love the other vodka only ones - so this made sense to get for me. It was really nice but I still think Black Forest is my fave
