Cocktail of the month - Chocotini at China Bar

Choc-a-block - The Chocotini at China Bar is better than decadent

Unlike other chocotinis, China Bar’s version is an understated concoction that doesn’t assault the taste buds with an excess of creamy liquor or chocolate smeared around the rim.

The see-through drink looks like a regular martini, but with two skewered white chocolate truffles in place of olives; decadent isn’t the word.

Ingredients: vanilla vodka, crème de cacao, white chocolate truffles

How much: 75RMB (plus 15 per cent)

Where: China Bar, 65th Floor, Park Hyatt Beijing, 2 Jianguomenwai Dajie, Chaoyang district (8567 1234) 北京柏 悦酒店, 朝阳区建国门外大街2号65层
