What is Cello?
Cello is a clear, citrus-flavored liqueur that is a popular choice for mixing cocktails. Its sweet and tangy flavor profile makes it a great complement to various spirits. Whether you’re crafting a classic cocktail or experimenting with new flavor combinations, Cello can add a refreshing twist to your drink. Its bright citrus notes can help balance out stronger spirits or enhance the flavor of fruity cocktails. But in our case, we’ll be making a Chocolate Cello instead that uses the same ideas of smoothness and flavorful mixing.
