DuBlasé Announces Debut of Signature Martini at the 45th Annual Arts Awards in Jacksonville, FL

DuBlase Whiskey is thrilled to debut our signature chocolate martini cocktail in Jacksonville, FL at the 45th Annual Arts Awards, September 23rd, 2021. This virtual event, themed “Igniting Our Creative Economy” will be something you do not want to miss. DuBlase partnered up with the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville and one of the city’s top mixologists to feature a signature cocktail that embodies the theme of the night in true artistic fashion. DuBlase will debut our delicious Chocolate Martini, or what we like to call, the Chocolatini. This cocktail was developed by Mixologist Destiny Whitehead of Mr. Barrtenderr, who is a popular local mixologist that works in some of the best venues and bars across the First Coast and surrounding Counties. Destiny is an amazing talent. Truly great at what she does. Destiny specializes in creating cocktail recipes, in addition to teaching bartending courses, and providing bartending services for special events in North Florida.

What better audience to present a creative whiskey cocktail than at the 45th Annual Arts Awards? It's a tasty, yet sophisticated cocktail with an artistic twist. As a true advocate of the arts, our team is looking forward to debuting this cocktail to the entire arts community.

In fact, our company's art roots in Jacksonville go deep -- DuBlase founder and CEO, Darrin Eakins, is a graduate of Jacksonville’s own Douglas Anderson School of the Performing Arts. So it was only right that we debut our Chocolate Martini at the Arts Awards. 

The core ingredient in chocolate is cacao, often combined with liquid cane and creme. Many mixologists have a variety of chocolate mixers at most nightlife clubs and restaurants; they may also have chocolate-flavored liqueurs that can be used in unique cocktail blends. DuBlase encourages you to try out their custom DuBlase Chocolate Martini at home or are at one of the venues that currently serves our DuBlase throughout Florida.

This Chocolate Martini is the perfect dessert cocktail to enjoy at the end of the night with friends or coworkers. We believe that ladies and gentlemen alike should make time to treat themselves to the finer things in life! You can add the uniquely formulated, decadent DuBlase Chocolate Martini to that list and indulge!

While there are many ways to make a chocolate martini, we believe the DuBlase Chocolate Martini is a must try. See our custom recipe below: 

• ½ Glass or Shaker of Ice

• 1 ½ ounces DuBlase Whiskey

• 3 ounces Borgota Chocolate Liqueur

• 3 ounces Bailey’s Irish Cream

• Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

• Shake or Stir

In addition to this signature cocktail, if you're feeling extra creative, you can also use DuBlase Whiskey in the popular Espresso Martini or White Chocolate Martini that has become particularly popular on TikTok. Whatever cocktail you choose to spice up as Summer 2021 winds down, make sure to choose DuBlase as your premium whiskey. DuBlase is currently available for online purchases to adults of the legal drinking age in 32 states across the U.S. To purchase a bottle of DuBlase, visit our shopping page.
