Coffee Cream Liqueur

During the holidays, my honey can drink egg nog like no one else can. By far, it’s one of his favorite guilty pleasures. Adult beverage version or otherwise, he loves it. Southern Comfort brand easily tops both of our list of favorites. But, he loves it all. Egg nog, milk […]

Amaretto Sour

Lazzaroni Amaretto is made by infusing the liqueur with Amaretti Di Saronna cookies. If you haven’t tried these, they’re lovely and almondy… and SWEET! They’re like little almond sugar bombs. The flavor is divine. But, after one or two you feel a bit like a kindergartner after a sugar binge. […]
