Remember those decadent chocolates designed to look like an orange? Before eating you’re supposed to tap them and they break into little segments just like an orange. Not by coincidence, they are indeed chocolate and orange in flavor. Well, the Copper Drop Cocktail just goes a step further and smooths out the flavor with creamy peanut butter notes.
