Cindy Pedraza, Chocolatier

Smooth taste and impeccable ingredients are something so second nature to artisans like Cindy Pedraza of Cocoandre Chocolatier. It requires a refined palette and experienced knowledge to be able to create something that stands so tall among the rest. This is #Kruto52. For the master chocolatier, there is such a thrill of creating new and elevated masterpieces. What’s even more amazing are the influences Pedraza draws from to create her works of art. She taps into her Latino heritage and flavors to concoct her scrumptious combinations in the kitchen in the back of a quaint cottage, located on West 7th Street in Oak Cliff. When you walk in, you are immediately enveloped by the smell of chocolate. It almost mirrors the emphasis Kruto Vodka puts on recognizing their spirited culture and using the inspiration that brings, to create a vodka that celebrated by all walks of life. Much like the exploratory imagination of Kruto Vodka, these chocolatiers are always pushing culinary boundaries to make the boldest and best products they can. With mouth-watering truffles and chocolate hearts, or try one of Andrea’s new collections. It features liqueur truffles that combine her delectable chocolate with whisky, champagne, Grand Marnier or tequila – the perfect closing for a romantic Valentine’s Day. There’s also a vegan option that includes chocolate ice cream. There’s a simple Sympatico between Kruto Vodka and Cocoandre. Find the best, make the best, and produce the best.
