Smoky tequila, cocoa crème liqueur, touches of refreshing citrus and a Nutella-rimmed glass — this cocktail is doing the most, and then some.

It strikes the perfect balance between rich chocolate flavors and light, crisp citrus. The chocolate hazelnut spread rim is an added treat to an already delectable drink.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. Sauza Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila

3/4 oz. Marie Brizard Crème de Cacao Brown

1/2 oz. Grand Marnier

1/2 oz. lime juice

Orange peel for garnish

Nutella and cacao nibs for rim

Method

Rim a highball glass with Nutella and cacao nibs and fill with ice. Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into the glass. Garnish and serve.
