Dove Chocolate Martini Mix

This mix came from Dove Chocolate Discoveries, a home party chocolate seller. It was never a supermarket item.

Where to buy

The mix was sold by independent consultants called Chocolatiers. Current production is not confirmed. Leftover packs sometimes appear on resale sites, so check dates closely.

Professional insight

A bartender would treat old mix as a pantry food. Date and seal decide everything.

  • Clumped cocoa powder has likely absorbed moisture.
  • Faded tins suggest years on a shelf.
  • Any chocolate liqueur gives a close result.
  • Rim the glass with chopped chocolate for the look.
