  • Mama Walker’s Breakfast Inspired Liqueurs Review

    New from Pernod Ricard comes Mama Walker’s, a new line of breakfast inspired liqueurs.

    “Mama Walker’s delights with home-style, made-from scratch goodness in flavors consumers want,” said Juli Falkoff, Brand Director for Mama Walker’s, Pernod Ricard USA. “Breakfast isn’t just for breakfast anymore. Consumers are more and more adventurous, seeking flavors across a variety of categories,” Falkoff added. “Comfort food, sweet & savory flavor combinations and retro-inspired flavors are among three of the hottest trends … Read more

  • DiSaronno Amaretto Liqueur Review

    There is a long tradition in Italy of families and the church producing their own special liqueurs through both distillation and infusion. This tradition is alive and well in Italy today but not as widespread as it was 100 or 500 years ago. If you are treated to a limoncello in many restaurants in Italy at the end of your meal, it’s likely that the proprietor devised the secret recipe himself or it had been … Read more

  • Goldwasser Review

    Thanks to my recent illness, we are bringing you our liqueur review late this week.  But, it actually works as this liqueur is absolutely perfect for the holidays!  It will help liven up any Hanukkah celebration, make the wait for Santa easier and add sparkle to your New Year’s cocktails.   

    Danzig Goldwasser has one of the most storied histories in the wine and spirits world.  Goldwasser has been made at least since 1598 (and allegedly … Read more

  • Campari Review

    A favorite of bartenders across the globe! We have heard that bartenders test the skills of another bartender based on the quality of his or her Negroni.

    Campari is a bitter spirit that is made from over 60 herbs and spices. If you try hard, you can pick out a few. For me, the easiest one to spot is the quinine, which is one of the herbs that gives Campari its bitter quality. Campari has … Read more

  • Godiva Chocolate Vodka Review

    We received a bottle of Godiva Chocolate Vodka just in time for winter and the holidays! I don’t know what it is, but I love having a chocolate martini at the office holiday party. There is something festive, decadent and delicious about combining Vodka and chocolate (and in some cases, cream and Baileys too).

    The great thing about the Godiva Chocolate Vodka is that the chocolate and the Vodka come combined. This means that making … Read more

  • Rothman and Winter Orchard Apricot Brandy Review

    In honor of Repeal Day, which was yesterday, we are highlighting an old-timey spirit recently brought back to life in America. Back in the days before Prohibition and immediately after, a significant number of drinks were made with Apricot Brandy. Like many ingredients in well fashioned cocktails, Apricot Brandy fell by the wayside as it fell out of flavor. While you could find versions of Apricot Brandy, the real stuff was all but dead and … Read more

  • Kahlua Cinnamon Spice Review

    Kahlua recently launched a new flavor – Kahlua Cinnamon Spice – just in time to keep you warm for winter. It will be the perfect addition to almost any hot drink this winter whether it be coffee, hot chocolate or tea (I can’t vouch for the hot apple cider as I haven’t tried it yet).

    I really like Kahlua and was a bit concerned when they started making the Kahlua spices line (like Vanilla, Peppermint … Read more

  • Pama Pomegranate Liqueur Review

    November is National Pomegranate Month. To kick off the month, we are posting a review of Pama Pomegranate liqueur. Pama is a good as it sounds (unless you are a pomegranate hater). Buy yourself a bottle and whip up pomegranate drinks all month long. The plus is that they make great drinks to serve guests for Thanksgiving.

    Pomegranates are sensuous – they are ripe, lush and bursting with deep red fruit – and they scream … Read more

  • Hiram Walker Caramel Apple Liqueur Review

    We were lucky enough to receive a little care package from our friends at Nova Marketing and Hiram Walker to help ease us into fall. One of the items in that care package was the Hiram Walker Caramel Apple Liqueur. Since it’s close to Halloween, I will put it out there that it would be perfect for Halloween. Imagine the number of apple drinks you can whip up.

    The Caramel Apple Liqueur is a member … Read more

  • St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur Review

    I will freely admit that I am a St. Germain addict and, thanks to St. Germain, an elderflower addict too. Since my discovery of this delightful liqueur a few years ago, I have bought a number of bottles and literally added it to everything. It brightens a Champagne cocktail, makes gin sing and is a potent addition to any punch bowl. So you can only imagine our excitement when a bottle magically arrived in the … Read more
