The cocoa bar at the new ACKC offers a range of novelty drinks named for glamour girls of stage and screen: The Lucy is infused with smoky chipotle pepper; the Liz has a touch of lavender, of course; the Joan is anchored by a shot of espresso. But as with that little black dress, sometimes classic is best. That's why we like the Audrey ($3.50), a four-ounce shot of very dark chocolate thick enough to pour over ice cream and even better straight up from a tiny espresso cup.
