Ahead of Valentine's Day this year, Japanese coffee chain Tully's is adding a romantic ruby chocolate drink to its menu that's topped with freeze-dried raspberry pieces that almost resemble red floral petals. The decadent new menu offering, the Ruby Chocolate White Mocha, can be ordered hot or cold and combines espresso and white chocolate, plus a colorful whipped cream topping that contains ruby chocolate.
As naturally pink ruby chocolate—the fourth kind of chocolate—is known to have a unique tart and sweet berry flavor, the drink offers a different twist on the classic mocha.
For special occasions like Valentine's Day and beyond, consumers can expect to be treated to more ruby chocolate beverages that offer creative explorations of this flavor.
