On top of being able to enjoy milk, dark and boozy hot chocolate at the Fortnum & Mason pop-up at Somerset House, people have the chance to indulge in ruby hot chocolate. The comforting hot beverage is made with naturally pink chocolate, which is now recognized as the fourth kind of chocolate after milk, dark and white varieties.
The ruby hot chocolate is topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of ruby chocolate, which makes the treat as photogenic as it is full of flavor.
Fortnum & Mason also offers a range of ruby chocolate products that can be purchased, including its own Ruby Chocolate Bar and the bright and berry-flavored Ruby Hot Chocolate that can be prepared at home with milk.
