My “Sip o’ the Week” for this week is a combination of sip and bite. About a week ago, chocolate connoisseurs and gin lovers united to savor the limited release of Ritual Chocolate’s Alpine Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar. A celebration of this local partnership, including a joyful tasting experience for guests, was held at the Park City Social Aid & Pleasure Club on Saturday, April 13.

“We are so excited to offer our latest release of our Alpine Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar,” says Ritual Chocolate Co-Founder Anna Seear. “Our high-quality cacao, paired with the unique flavor profile of Alpine Distilling’s gin, offers a refreshing, elevated chocolate experience, and we can’t wait to share this special collaboration with our enthusiastic patrons.”

The limited-edition chocolate bar is made from Ritual Chocolate’s Mid Mountain Blend of cacao, juniper berries, lavender, and Alpine Distilling’s award-winning barrel-aged gin. Ingredients were aged together for six months in a gin barrel to bring out every bit of delicate botanical notes, resulting in a sophisticated flavor profile of juniper, lavender, cardamom, and orange peel. The Alpine Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar is now available from Ritual Chocolate and wherever Ritual Chocolate is sold.
