FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve a Chocolate Ouch!?

The ideal way to serve a Chocolate Ouch! is in a chilled shot glass to enhance the flavor profiles of its ingredients.

With an alcohol content of 18%, Chocolate Ouch! has a moderate strength compared to other cocktails.
