How to make the Dartmoor Dark Delight:   

To make this delicious and unique cocktail, start by filling a shaker with ice. Next, pour in a 25-ml shot of Cointreau for a touch of sweetness. Follow that up with a double shot of Dartmoor Ex-Bordeaux Whisky for a rich and smoky flavour profile.

Give the shaker a good shake to mix all the ingredients together. Once well mixed, carefully pour the mixture into a glass, ensuring not to spill any of the precious concoction. Now, it is time to add a special twist by pouring just under a half-pint of Guinness into the glass.

To elevate the presentation, garnish the cocktail with grated Terry’s Chocolate Orange, adding a hint of chocolatey goodness. For that final touch, add some matchsticks of orange peel, releasing their aromatic oils and providing a burst of citrusy freshness.

Now, sit back, sip, and enjoy this delightful and indulgent drink that combines the flavours of whisky, Guinness, chocolate, and orange peel in a harmonious blend. Cheers!
