A Touch of Chocolate:
This group of cocktails are those that bring chocolate into a drink very subtly. They also show the power that chocolate has as a stunning garnish and this can range from a sprinkling of grated chocolate, a powered chocolate rim, chocolate-dipped fruit, and using chocolate as a glass decoration.

"Spiked" Chocolate Food Recipes:
This is just a sampling of foods that combine chocolate and a distilled spirit into (usually) baked goods.
Chocolate Distilled Spirits:
The list of cocktail ingredients and liquors is always changing but a few of these are staples. Creme de cacao is a essential to stock in the bar, as is Irish cream (but that is lightly chocolaty). Premium liqueurs like Godiva are excellent to have around as well and the infused vodkas and tequila and bitters are fun to play with as well.
