As winter tightens its grip, London's drinkers are turning away from summer spritzes and embracing a richer, more indulgent tipple. Leading the charge is Hotel Chocolat with its acclaimed Velvetised Chocolate Cream, a luxurious liqueur that blends signature chocolate with vodka and sweet cream.
A Trio of Decadent Flavours
The core range of this celebrated drink offers three distinct choices for the discerning palate. Fans can opt for the classic Velvetised Chocolate Cream, the sophisticated espresso martini variant, or the sweet-and-salty salted caramel flavour. Each bottle is priced at £23 and promises a rich, cocoa-forward experience with warming undertones, perfect for sipping neat over ice.
Seasonal Specials and Serving Suggestions
In a move that excites loyal customers, Hotel Chocolat has previously released limited-edition seasonal versions. These have included festive favourites like Black Forest and Mint Choc, with shoppers advised to keep an eye out for their potential return. Beyond enjoying it straight, the brand recommends stirring the liqueur into a hot chocolate for an extra decadent treat or using it as a base to craft inventive cocktails with a serious cocoa kick.
Rave Reviews and Retail Details
The product has garnered impressive feedback, holding an average rating of 4.6 stars from 362 reviews on its official site. Enthusiastic customers have described it as "gorgeously indulgent" and "heavenly," with one fan celebrating its versatility by pouring it over ice cream. While most feedback is glowing, a small number of critics found the texture grainy and noted a lack of pronounced alcohol taste.
For those looking to purchase, the Velvetised Chocolate Cream is available directly from Hotel Chocolat, as well as from major retailers Amazon and Tesco. The article, originally published on 23 December 2025, also mentions alternative chocolate liqueurs such as Baileys Chocolate Irish Cream at Sainsbury's and Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur at Ocado for those seeking different options.
