A chocolate almond cocktail is a simple, elegant drink that can be served alongside a slice of cheesecake after a fine meal or used to replace dessert altogether. Chocolate almond cocktails also make great party drinks. Make several pitchers a few hours ahead of time and keep them on plenty of ice or in the refrigerator until guests arrive. Use the best ingredients you can when making chocolate almond cocktails, as you really taste the quality of the ice cream, chocolate syrup and alcohol.
