Classic Serves Inspired Raaka's New Micro-Batch Chocolate Bars

Cocktail culture inspired the newest micro-batch chocolate bars from Raaka Chocolate, both blending the essence of popular drinks with signature, naturally fruity unroasted dark chocolate.

Aligned with the comeback of the espresso martini, Raaka developed Espresso Martini Swirl, a Ugandan dark chocolate bar infused with coffee and vegan white chocolate to reference the classic coffee cocktail’s creamy, foamy top layer. Like the popular evening and late-night cocktail, this chocolate bar is energizing.

Bourbon Buck, another new release that can be found in Raaka’s First Nibs Two Bar Subscription, spotlights 66% cocoa sourced from Tanzania and recreates the refreshingly zingy, spicy-sweet essence of a highball traditionally made with ginger beer and a splash of citrus.
