“The aim of this cobbler is using cocoa nib-infused triple sec to achieve a happy marriage of bitter orange and chocolate without being cloyingly sweet,” explains Fu. “The rest is simple yet delicious: turbinado syrup, lime, pineapple, 5-Island Banks white rum and a dusting of coffee grounds on top.”
