Coffee to keep you awake, chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth, and tequila to, well, lets just say loosen up. You’ll find all three in the new Patron XO Café Dark Cocoa. Although the combination may sounds a bit daunting, I urge you to try it for yourself. I like it as an after dinner drink, but the smooth taste works well in cocktails as well.
