  Alcohol: 16.1 g / 100g - 20.4% Vol.
  The chocolate liqueur is a drink comparable, from the alcoholic point of view, to a slightly fortified wine. On the other hand, it brings a considerable amount of energy that derives mainly from carbohydrates. Ultimately, it is advisable to consume the chocolate liqueur on a full stomach and in maximum portions of 50ml.
