March 10: Bourbon, chocolate and espresso at 1 Shot Coffee

This coming Saturday, March 10, the team at 1 Shot Coffee (217 W. George St.) is hosting a Buffalo Trace pop-up bar in honor of the launch of Vivo Chocolate Co. Created by nutritionist Juliet Burgh and her husband, Vivo specializes in handcrafted raw chocolates. In its raw, unroasted form, it is very high in antioxidants, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, fiber and Omega-6 fatty acids. It also balances hormones and is good for weight loss. "It's an amazing thing, getting so much nutrition from one fruit — and it really is a fruit," says Burgh of her specialty.

Raw chocolate is generally expensive and uncommon, and Vivo's intention is to make it affordable and accessible. "Vivo lends itself to what we represent here at 1 Shot," says owner Melissa Baruno, "and what's a better combination than whiskey and chocolate?" They'll be handing out Vivo samples, along with complimentary Buffalo Trace bourbon pours, at the party, which goes from 7 to 9 p.m. They'll also have PT's Coffee espresso drinks for sale.
