Steps to Follow

These are the steps you’ll need to follow in order to create the Cali Choco Mint OG cocktail using a cocktail shaker.

Prepping in a cocktail shaker

Dribble some mint syrup in a glass and place in the freezer (if using a Hurricane glass). After a few minutes the syrup should be stuck to the glass.
Next, add 50ml baileys, 80ml brown cacao liquor, 80ml white cacao liquor, 100ml chocolate milkshake and 40ml coffee to a Boston cocktail shaker.
Add 1 drop of terpenes (0.025ml) and Chocolate Mint OG to the mixture.
Add ice to the cocktail shaker.
Shake well!
Fill your glass with crushed ice, and if possible, use a sieve to pour the cocktail out.
Decorate (optional). In our case we used some chocolate shavings – a delight for the senses!
