There's something so delicious about a smooth, tropical drink. That's why we partnered with Lindt LINDOR for this post.
So much more than a sticky-sweet tropical drink, this combination of vodka, chocolate, and almond-flavored syrup shake together into a cocktail that's hard to resist. Giving orange slices a quick brûlée finishes the drink with a caramel edge. Serve on the rocks or straight up for a pretty drink that's also wonderful made as a punch at your next party. You can also make your own chocolate sauce, which really adds to the drink.

Directions
