Following on the enormous success of his best-selling books Making Your Own Gourmet Coffee Drinks and Making Your Own Gourmet Tea Drinks, Mathew Tekulsky now turns his talents to chocolate. He begins with a short discussion on the history of chocolate, how the different types are made (unsweetened and semisweet chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, white chocolate, chocolate syrup), and how to store and use chocolate. Making Your Own Gourmet Chocolate Drinks then offers more than 100 tasty chocolate drinks, including such delectable treats as Hot Chocolate Royale, Butterscotch Hot Chocolate, Hot Cocoa -- Espresso Eggnog, Chocolate-Strawberry Ice Cream Soda, Chocolate-Marshmallow Blend, Chocolate Malted Shake, Rum Hot Chocolate, Brandy -- Grand Mariner Hot Chocolate, Creme de Cacao -- Frangelico Delight, and Strawberry-Amaretto Chocolate Shake.

With this book, you will be able to bring the taste and spirit of your local chocolate bar into the comfort of your own home and be introduced to the most creative ways of serving both hot and cold chocolate drinks.
