1 teaspoon juice from a jar of maraschino cherries
5 drops of chocolate flavoured bitters
1 maraschino cherry, skewered
2 oz melted good quality dark chocolate (can be used for 4 cocktails)
1 oz good quality dark chocolate shavings (can be used for 2 cocktails)
Large sized ice cubes
Directions
Place the melted chocolate in the saucer of a teacup.
Place the chocolate shavings in a second saucer.
Using an old-fashioned glass, dip 2/3 of the length of the rim into the chocolate, 3 mm deep. Then immediately dip the chocolate rim into the chocolate shavings so that they stick. Chill the glasses.
Mix the liquid ingredients with ice together in a mixing glass, until the liquid is chilled.
Pour it into the decorated old-fashioned glass over fresh ice and add the skewered cherry to serve.
