Why you should buy it:
Mickey Finn Whipped Chocolate, Fruit & Nut takes its inspiration from one of the best-selling chocolate bars in the UK and has been released to capitalise on high interest in all things chocolate.
“Being one of the most popular chocolate bar flavours in the UK, we think that chocolate Fruit & Nut in a bottle is the perfect treat for chocoholics up and down the country. And it tastes just as good straight as it does over desserts," said Babco Europe chief executive Mark Wilson.
The new liqueur is also being launched under the established Mickey Finn range so will be a name customers recognise and has been on trial in selected venues across the UK, including the Waxy O'Connor's group.
Its UK-wide launch in the on-trade will also be supported by a number of marketing promotions by Proof Drinks.
