This typical after-dinner drink is a twist on one of my guilty pleasures, the Golden Dream. The combination of orange liqueur, Earl Grey tea liqueur, fresh-pressed orange juice, double cream and chocolate bitters creates a rich and creamy, citrussy and sweet drink with a subtle bitter chocolate finish. It's truly a dessert in a glass.
