The Masons of Yorkshire Chocolate Vodka is being added to the brand's product portfolio as a premium spirit arriving just in time for the holiday season in the UK. The vodka features a 40% ABV and features the flavors of roasted cocoa nibs with a chocolaty flavor to help set it apart from the other varieties on the market. The spirit is thus perfect for incorporation into a range of sweet or savory cocktails, while also being suited for shots or sippers.
Co-Founder Cathy Mason spoke on the new Masons of Yorkshire Chocolate Vodka saying, "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."
