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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barry-callebaut-1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berry-in-love-menu) that offer creative explorations of this flavor.
