Mozart: liqueur review + 12 cocktail recipes
Mozart (Mozart is the most popular chocolate liqueur in Europe. It is named in honor of the genius composer and musician of the 18th century, a native of Salzburg, Austria.
The emergence of this drink, which was released in 1981, was preceded by two circumstances: the move to Salzburg of the well-known German distillery H.C. König (later - Mozart Distillerie GmbH) and the invention of the method of cold liquefaction of chocolate using ultrasound.
Features of production
According to the manufacturer, only natural products are used in the production of the drink.
The alcoholic base for the liqueur is high-quality cane alcohol.
The drink is made by mixing chocolate tincture with chocolate distillate.
At the last stage, the "namesake" of the great composer can be aged in wooden barrels for several months to several years.
Types of Austrian liqueur
There are four varieties of the drink we are interested in:
Gold Chocolate Cream - basic 17-degree version. Consists of milk Belgian chocolate, cream, vanilla, white cane refined sugar and slightly burnt beet sugar;
White Chocolate Vanilla Cream - lightweight 15-degree modification. Its ingredients include cocoa butter, cream, vanilla, white cane refined sugar and purified beet sugar distillate;
White Chocolate Cream Strawberry - another light version of the drink that also contains 15% ethanol. In addition to the white chocolate, cream and strawberries declared in the name of the liqueur, it contains vanilla and sugar of the highest purity;
Dark Chocolate - an exquisite 17-degree liqueur aged for two years. Contains cocoa beans, vanilla, caramel and burnt beet sugar.
The forty-degree Mozart Distillerie GmbH, produced by Mozart Distillerie GmbH, stands out Chocolate Vodka. It is a distilled cocoa bean tincture with vanilla. This strong stuff, according to the creators, is primarily intended for use in various kinds of cocktails (see.: below).
Ways to use + cocktail recipes
All varieties of Salzburg liqueur are perfectly drunk neat. They are served in chilled liqueur glasses or in glasses with ice. The appearance of the drink on the table is accompanied by sweet pastries, ice cream, cream desserts and coffee.
At the same time, if you decide to add Mozart directly to your coffee for a change, you won't be disappointed either.
