Kit Kat’s Latest Booze Flavor Is a Cocktail

Putting the bar in Kit Kat bar, Nestlé has expanded its line of booze-flavored Japanese chocolates to include a full-on cocktail. Kit Kat Densetsu Fukkatsu: Orange Cocktail Noir not only combines three languages (Japanese, English and French), it also combines the three flavors (dark chocolate—the base for the entire noir line of Kit Kats—orange and rum) into a snackable mixed drink. Before you get too excited about getting tipsy on a single break, know that the bar only contains about 0.8 percent alcohol, but the rum finish on the palate will still please any fan of the sugar cane-based spirit.

The limited edition flavor is sold at Kit Kat Chocolatory stores in Japan in boxes of four individually wrapped packets, each of which contain two mini bars. Should the elaborate packaging not give it away—the box and wrappers have the word “special” literally written all over them—the orange cocktail flavor is at the high end of Kit Kat’s offerings.

Orange Cocktail Noir is the latest accomplishment in Kit Kat’s quest to alchemize an entire liquor store into chocolate. Past offerings have included Sake (which comes in a fake sake bottle), Rum Raisin, Champagne Raspberry, Wine, and the spiritual predecessor to Orange Cocktail, the Brandy and Orange flavor. But considering that rival candy maker Glico already has a flavor of Pocky designed specifically to pair with Japanese whisky, Nestlé better step up their game. We’ll take our Brandy Alexander and Grasshopper flavors whenever you’re ready, Kit Kat.
