Cocktail Inspiration:
At the restaurant I work at, LoLA, one of our deserts is a black bottom key like pie. My cocktail is a take on that desert. The black bottom (chocolate crust) is represented by the creme de cacao and graham cracker crust. The key lime comes through in the rest of the cocktail creating a light, sweet, citrusy summer sipper. Enjoy!
