Re: Favorite "sweet" Liqueur? - Black - 01-09-2013
I've got a few bottles of Limoncello in the cue, and some Patron Citronage, but tend to not have a taste for them except in summertime.
Frangelico... I like it somewhat, but not enough to pop for a whole bottle.
Any Jägermeister aficionados here?
Anyone have a preference for some odd Schnapps made from something nobody would ever expect Schnapps to me made from?

I got a bottle of Grand Marnier as a gift and had to struggle to finish it. I never found a mixed drink that used it that I liked and did not like it straight. I buy Potter's 1.75l (store brand?) version of Khalua because it is the most acceptable balance of taste and cost for my poorly working taste buds but I can't drink it after dinner because it keeps me awake (one of the original alcoholic pick me up drinks).

This seems to be a current fave in the pick-me-up dept:
Also better than it sounds.

Amaretto (particularly good over ice)
Spearmint Schnapps (I like spearmint better than peppermint in general)
Apple Schnapps
Sloe Gin (great mixed with 7-Up over ice for a quick-n-easy Sloe Gin Fizz. If you read traditional recipes for a Sloe Gin Fizz, all the other ingredients (simple syrup, soda water, and lemon juice) basically add up to home-made 7-Up anyway)

Baileys and Kahlua here. Kahlua in my coffee and chili (took a 4th place once). Put Bailey's in a blender with an equal amount of Breyers Real Vanilla ice cream and blend! Man...

Add some brandy or cognac to the Grand Marnier. I use E & J Gallo VSOP in a 50/50 mix.
Turns it into a real Man's drink. Creates a Grand Marnier version of B&B.
