Chocolate Infused Rye

• 1 bot­tle of Rit­ten­house Rye Whisky 750 ml

Infuse over night. Strain through a sieve and cheese­cloth.

I use Taza choco­late because of its unique process. Taza choco­late is stone ground and min­i­mal­ly processed. They use authen­tic Oax­a­can stone mills instead of steel refin­ers to grind their cacao. Due to the imper­fect sur­face of a gran­ite mill­stone, unre­fined cacao par­ti­cles and sug­ar gran­ules remain in the fin­ished choco­late.  These pop with explo­sive fla­vor on the palate, lend­ing the choco­late their dis­tinc­tive gran­u­lar tex­ture.
