The LiveLikeaVIP.com team adore chocolate and love Champagne even more so when we heard about a new cocktail involving both of these elements, we were practically ran (as fast as we could in our high heels) to try it out.

The 1811 consists of Perrier Jouet Champagne (not just any old fizz) and Mozart Dry chocolate liqueur (a premium clear chocolate spirit), a bit of Belle Brillet pear liqueur  to sweeten things up and finished off with a handmade chocolate truffle like a diamond at the bottom of the glass. We were frightened to try the drink, thinking could it possibly live up to our expectations? The answer was yes and then more…it’s like a drink, dessert and a fizzy kiss on the lips every time you raise the glass to your mouth. Saturday nights will never be the same again. Why start the night with anything else when it’s not too hard to whip up this tasty concoction? Champagne is less calorific than other drinks and studies suggest a bit of chocolate is good for us.
