Bouvery CV Chocolate Liqueur

Bouvery CV Chocolate Liqueur is a 16% ABV (32 proof) small-batch chocolate liqueur built on gluten-free corn vodka and organic Fair Trade cocoa from Ecuador, Peru, and the Dominican Republic — hand-bottled and labeled at Westford Hill Distillers in Ashford, Connecticut, in this 375mL bottle. Creator Danny Bouvery's recipe began as chocolate-and-vodka experiments in 1999 Notting Hill and was perfected in New York: a dark, opaque liqueur (not a clear flavored vodka) sweetened with cane sugar, containing real dairy for a creamy pour. Shake well before pouring. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

From a London Fridge to a Connecticut Still

Danny Bouvery started the way the best liqueurs start — tinkering at home, steeping chocolate in vodka in a Notting Hill fridge in 1999. The recipe that survived those experiments is the one in this bottle: real organic Fair Trade cocoa, gluten-free corn vodka, cane sugar, and dairy for body, produced in small batches with Lou and Margaret Chatey at Westford Hill Distillers since 2014. It's a drinker's chocolate liqueur — dark, genuine, and built for the glass, not the candy aisle. See more liqueurs or the Bouvery CV range.

Tasting Notes

Deep cocoa first — dark chocolate and cocoa nib, then creamy dairy rounding the edges, with vanilla and a gentle caramel sweetness from the cane sugar. The corn-vodka base stays quiet and clean, letting the Fair Trade cocoa lead. Silky, dessert-rich, and unmistakably real chocolate.

How to Enjoy

Shake well and pour over ice, or serve chilled in a small cordial glass after dinner. It elevates a White Russian, a chocolate martini, or hot coffee — and drizzled over vanilla ice cream it needs no further argument. Refrigerate after opening given the dairy content.
