What Type Of Alcohol Is Used In Godiva Chocolate Liqueur?
By Lauren Wood
Born out of Belgium and named after the legendary Anglo-Saxon Lady Godiva, Godiva has become one of the world’s largest chocolate manufacturers, and they’re known for their velvety chocolate pralinés, renowned truffles, and — as of the early 1990s — their chocolate liqueur. What exactly is this liqueur made of, and why has it been kept such a secret?
Only a true Godiva Chocolatier knows for certain what comprises Godiva chocolate liqueur, but it’s assumed that it involves a mild vodka-like spirit that lacks a bold or sharp taste. Because Godiva uses high-quality ingredients to craft their chocolates, this makes their liqueur equally smooth — almost silky — with a resting ABV of 15%.
The three flavors sold on the shelves are white, dark, and milk chocolate, and each offer their own unique blend of flavor profiles. While the milk chocolate tastes like a liquified chocolate bar, the white and dark chocolate have more complex flavor profiles.
