Whether you’re heading away over Easter or planning to make the most of your downtime at home, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll be devouring decadent chocolate at some point. Every piece of rich chocolate needs a perfect pairing, so we enlisted our friends over at Fever-Tree to share three whiskey-based cocktails with us. Because no matter your whisky of choice, the warming nature perfectly pairs with chocolate to balance out the sweetness of whatever chocolate you’ve got on your hands.
