Drink of the Gods

If it was not for Renée, I would never have had the pleasure of tasting the Drink of the Gods. She happened upon this awesome drink while touring Toronto's historic distillery district - an old distillery that has been converted into cool shops and restaurants. She happened upon a chocolate maker shop called Soma (a place right of Willy Wonka) where she was introduced to the Drink of the Gods.

Basically, the Drink of the Gods is a mayan hot chocolate blend of chocolate elixir, chilli peppers, ginger, orange peel, madagascar vanilla and a "unique blend of spices." This mixture is then blended in with a little hot water...that's it...a shot of pure, thick and spicy chocolate. It tastes like...well, a drink from the Gods. You can also have this mixed in with steamed milk and/or expresso. Although both of these options are tasty, you really have not experienced chocolate until you try the intense shot.

Soma also makes excellent chocolates and cookies. My favorite is Caramel Chocolates dusted with Fleur de Sel (there is something about combining salt and caramel that is pure heaven). I wish we had a Soma in the states, but for now you will have to settle on making this place a must visit while in Toronto (or order online). Five Smacks!!!
