This riff on the 20th Century cocktail combines robust chocolate notes with bright and bitter flavors for a perfectly balanced cocoa cocktail. You’ll love how the cranberry syrup provides brightness, the Mud Puddle adds rich chocolate notes, the Cocchi’s “bite” gives a bitter orange depth, and the Angostura ties it all together. The Improved Centennial is a cocktail that starts with cocoa and ends with cocoa.

• 1 1/2 oz Mud Puddle Bitter Chocolate Vodka
• 1 oz Cocchi Americano
• 1/2 oz New Deal Tart Cranberry Syrup
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 orange peel for garnish
