Angelina's so named chocolate elixir reflects more than blatant racism. True, the name refers to color of the brew, and the hateful fact that, according to the court paintings of the chocolate-sipping era, the beverage was frequently served to the elite by white-turbanned African slaves. However, it is also worthy to note that the name Africain could also refer to the cocoa beans' place of origin, and to Europeans, the name lends the drink a lush, exotic aura akin to its richness.
