'Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get.' But in Liquorice By Caroline we can guarantee a box full of indulgence and mmhs and ahs! Adults, we're talking to you because this city-based Chocolatier specialises in artisanal chocolate for the 'evolved palate' or like we enjoy hearing it -- sinful liquor-filled chocolates!
Why is this delightful service worth a "shot", you ask? Simply imagine the pleasure of consuming a tiny chocolate bottle of your favourite alcohol. Think a rich, bittersweet shell of chocolate hiding a wafer-thin shell of sugar that snaps at the first bite giving way to a warming flush (a small sip) of liquor! In short, a melange of flavours that mingle, interact and explode! Caroline handcrafts her bonbons and truffles using only the best single-origin (82% dark, milk and white) chocolate, from a renowned Swiss brand.
While whiskey, rum, gin, cognac, bourbon and champagne are regulars on the menu, you must enquire about exotic flavours like Passion Fruit Chilli & Gin, Bacon & Vodka and Caramel, Black Seasalt & White Rum (there's more where this came from). We're also told that the Chocolate Cigars filled with a tea-smoked ganache and liquor of choice is another must-try! All exquisite, all equally tempting, some of these concoctions really stand out like the Vodka Guava Cream 'Cheesecake' bonbon and a Balsamic Vinegar, Rye Whiskey & Dark Chocolate Truffle.
Best bit? Everything on Liquorice By Caroline's menu is entirely customisable to flavour, shape, colours and can be enjoyed in non-booze versions too!
