12 Brandy cocktails deliver a chocolate flavour profile in this data, led by Alexander Cocktail No. 2 and Betsy Ross Cocktail.
Chocolate and brandy work well together because the spirit acts as a carrier — it does not fight the flavor, it extends it. The drinks here either feature chocolate as the dominant note or use it as a counterpoint to the spirit's own character.
