Four new cocktails are available at All Bar One as part of their collaboration with Hotel Chocolat.
If you thought that the Leeds foodie scene was all set for Christmas, think again.
All Bar One have just launched a range of festive cocktails with none other than confectionary giants, Hotel Chocolat.
The new menu mixes Hotel Chocolat's 'Velvetised™ Cream' with traditional Christmas flavours like clementines and salted caramel and boozy flavours like rum, vodka and amaretto.
All Bar One boasted on their website that the cocktails are 'every chocolate and cocktail lover's dream'. The brand-new range are truly the epitome of Instagrammable cocktails and there are four luxurious flavours to choose from.

The Chocolat Martini is a great starting point. Think Hotel Chocolat Velvetised™ Chocolate Cream blended with indulgent De Kuyper Crème de Cacao, Havana Club rum, milk and cocoa powder.
Plus, its served with a milk chocolate shard and chocolate flakes to make it feel like a cross over of a hot choc and sophisticated cocktail.
Forget dessert wine or After Eights, The Midnight Tiramisu will be your favourite new post-dinner drink.
Made from Hotel Chocolat Espresso Martini Velvetised™ Cream with a kick of Tia Maria, Disaronno amaretto and oat milk; this delicious dessert-drink is finished with a milk chocolate shard and a dusting of cocoa powder.
It really is the season of chocolate orange and Hotel Chocolat X All Bar One are giving Terry a good run for its money and the Clementine Chocolat Martini is just one example of this.
We're talking about a creamy concoction of Hotel Chocolat Salted Caramel and Clementine Velvetised™ Cream with Cointreau, milk & cocoa powder. Finished with an orange swirl garnish for a citrusy twist and, of course, the signature milk chocolate shard and chocolate flakes.

The final cocktail, the Mint Royale is no humbug.
The after-dinner pick-me-up features Hotel Chocolat Mint Chocolate Velvetised™ Cream, Ketel One vodka, salted caramel syrup and oat milk. Topped with a milk chocolate shard, chocolate flakes and a mint leaf garnish.
Priced from just £9.95 each, chocolate and cocktail lovers can gather at All Bar One for these tempting treats seven days a week.
If you want to be able to recreate these mesmerising cocktails at home, the All Bar One team are also holding cocktail masterclasses to teach you how to shake and stir all year round. Priced at £30 per person, this experience should be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.

The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
