Chocolate Orange Spritz

If you're in the mood for something a little indulgent and totally unexpected, the Chocolate Orange Spritz is a cocktail that delivers depth, sparkle, and just the right amount of sweetness. With dark or spiced rum, citrusy Cointreau, and a crisp top-up of Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger Tonic, this cocktail is a grown-up treat with bold personality.

Why We Love the Chocolate Orange Spritz

The Chocolate Orange Spritz takes the comforting flavour combo of orange and chocolate and transforms it into a light, bubbly cocktail with a slightly spicy twist. The dark or spiced rum forms a rich base, while the Cointreau adds a zesty orange kick. Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger Tonic ties it all together with a subtle tartness and warming ginger lift — keeping the drink bright and balanced.

What makes this cocktail stand out even more is the garnish: cacao nibs for an earthy crunch, and a playful heart of orange peel that gives it a little extra charm. It’s equal parts cocktail and conversation starter — perfect for festive occasions, date nights, or whenever you want something a bit decadent but still refreshing.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve in a short tumbler or rocks glass over plenty of ice.
• Garnish with cacao nibs and a decorative heart or twist of orange peel for a rich, aromatic finish.
• Pair with chocolate truffles, orange-spiced desserts, or a salted caramel treat.

Top Tips

• Use a high-quality dark or spiced rum for a smooth, deep flavour — it makes all the difference.
• Chill your tonic in advance to preserve its effervescence.
• Want to dial up the chocolate notes? Add a few drops of chocolate bitters or use chocolate liqueur instead of rum for a dessert-style twist.

The Chocolate Orange Spritz is the kind of cocktail that feels like a surprise — a little sweet, a little spicy, and totally memorable. It’s a unique fusion of comfort and class that’s sure to become a new seasonal favourite.
