Perfectly served neat over ice, with a few cocoa nibs as a garnish, Masons of Yorkshire Chocolate Vodka is the perfect sipping vodka for after dinner or to be enjoyed all evening for those with a sweeter tooth. For dinner party guests, serve in a Masons Mocha Espresso Martini, a Vespresso Martini or an After Eight Martini,** set to impress and inject the evening with a luxe vibe where guests 'can't believe the host has made this at home'. What could be more festive and indulgent than a Martini under the mistletoe?

Masons of Yorkshire Co-Founder Cathy Mason says:

“This Christmas is all going to be about enjoying luxury at home, and we created Chocolate Vodka to be the ultimate indulgence: it's so good, it can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or even with a dash of Caramel Syrup for the ultimate toast and celebration. To have branched out into the world of Great British Vodka has been a joy for us as more and more discover the versatility of this delicious spirit, we look forward to experimenting with different flavours in 2023.”
