Rich, refined and filled with chocolate—this cocktail is more reminiscent of artisanal dark chocolate than it is of your typical candy bar.

The Jägermeister and Bayou Rum keep the flavors nice and spicy, while the liqueur and stout offer that chocolate-y goodness so many of us crave. Perfect for serving at holiday parties or making whenever you need a pick-me-up, the Choco-Meister is sure to impress even the most diehard chocolate lovers.
