The co-owners of Gorant Chocolatier’s Dessert Bar achieved their goal of bringing their chocolate vodka to shelves in the Mahoning Valley by 2026.

Since opening in 2025, the most popular drink at The Dessert Bar has been the chocolate martini, according to co-owner Bergen Giordani.

The success of the martini inspired the owners to release Gorant #400 Chocolate Vodka.
