And what better way to enter into such a collaboration than with a lot of pride, pleasure, festive spirit, and therefore a classic cocktail from New York, with local rye whiskey, a specially selected cocoa blend, and a chocolate taste experience that you certainly don’t get every week. encounters.
This collaboration delivers more than joy and something delicious: part of the proceeds will of course go to organizations that are committed to the local LGBTQ+ community.
Description from the makers:
“Calling all Queer Deer, Drag bears & butch beavers! Belly up to this GAY BAR and talk a bout out of the Big Gay Hudson Valley with this sweet & sassy treat from Fruition Chocolate Works.
Capturing the essence of the classic Manhattan cocktail, we start our cocoa beans out with a good long soak in a combination of Hudson Valley rye, and sweet vermouth. Those fabulous little beauties are then transformed into a 69% cacao bar and peppered with dehydrated tart black cherries. What’s not to love?
A portion of the proceeds from each Gay Bar sold will benefit Hudson Valley organizations working to better the lives of Upstate New York’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community.
Ingredients: cocoa beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter, rye whiskey, vermouth, cherries, bitters.
The taste: a nice mix of flavors, because it is such a nice balance, it becomes quite a subtle whole, while it actually contains quite powerful scents & flavors. You can discover them bit by bit. We were afraid beforehand that the cherries would be loose, but they are also nicely ground through with the other ingredients. You can taste it too, all subtly, a classy cocktail, a classy chocolate, and a wonderfully long pleasant aftertaste, or aftertaste, we could almost say with a chocolate cocktail.
Contents 60 grams. Keep cool and dry.
Allergens: may contain traces of milk, peanuts, tree nuts, grains, soy and sesame.
The cocoa is a carefully selected blend from Peru (Pangoa) & Colombia (Tumaco).
Consideration: quite a pricey bar from Fruition, but when we saw it we were already sold. Even more so when we had it in our hands – the packaging is much shinier than it appears on the picture (reflective! disco!) and when we tasted it it was – ok ok, this is nice – certainly no regrets that we bought a few boxes of this blindly. ordered. Just like Omnom does with their Pride bar, we personally think it is important that a chocolate like this comes from a sincere collaboration, with shared profits. In addition, we are VERY in favor of craft chocolate, chocolate makers and others coming together to do beautiful things – and fortunately there are more and more beautiful examples – whether with a coffee roaster, beer brewer or organizations like here – it often produces surprising things, where our eyes light up, as we see…a lot of love comes together here. Love for beautiful flavors, for the profession, the will to make the world just a little bit more beautiful. That’s how we like to see it. Anyway, texts like this are not often read, but every now and then we do get a response with ‘gee, how nice all those personal texts from you’, so we know that there are people who read our reflections and even appreciate them, so that’s why here Still a lot of text 🙂
Small batch – handcrafted – boozyy dark chocolate – 60 grams / 2.12 ounces.
