Cocktail Colin says:
The Little Black Dress Toddy is a cocktail that dresses up warmth and comfort with a touch of sophistication, much like its namesake. The interplay of lush coconut rum and smooth milk forms a creamy foundation, while the vanilla liqueur and cardamom draw out an exotic, spiced undertone that nicely complements the rich sweetness of the hot chocolate.
