Exciting news for those mad for all things Jaffa Cake! The makers of Jaffa Cake gin and Jaffa Cake rum have finally added Jaffa Cake vodka to the line up and it sounds so delicious!
Made with pure grain vodka, blended with oranges, fresh orange peel, cocoa powder, and of course... real Jaffa Cakes.
It's a very grown up way to enjoy the treat, packed with cakey, citrusy, chocolatey tasting notes, really capturing all the things we love about the classic cakes. Or are they biscuits? We don't have time to get into that debate!
The experts at Master of Malt said of the tipple: "It would be easy for this to be overwhelmingly sweet, but it maintains its pose and manages to not become immensely sugary and sickly."
Right in time for Easter the Jaffa Cake vodka is perfect for chocolatey cocktails! Garnished with a Jaffa Cake of course.

Good Housekeeping's resident food & drink expert, Mel Giandzi had a chance to try the tipple, describing it as an authentic replica of jaffa cakes, just in liquid form.
"It has an amazing confected orange aroma with a definite chocolate-y undertone, whilst the flavour has a balanced chocolate taste and a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. It isn't too sickly sweet either, making it easy drinking and I can see this being used in a lot of cocktails in my house."
Mel had a chance to try the below cocktail (with some minor substitutions if you can't get your hands on all the ingredients) and agreed that it is the perfect treat for the Easter long weekend.
