I don't buy a lot of alcohol. But all I had left was the dregs of gold flakes at the bottom of Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps (my favorite schnapps - though I could do without the gold flakes in it.) Surprisingly, it isn't German.
So... what to replace it with (there's a high end liquor store across from work -- lots of expensive wines and whiskys.)
A new bottle of Yukon Jack. Honey/Whisky based. It's been my favorite for years. It usually evaporates before I can drink it all.
Wild Turkey has a honey based liqueur that is similar (but not even remotely as strong and without the interesting after taste of Yukon Jack.
And a bottle of pseudo-Irish Cream (A cheap brand from NH made using imported whiskey (not sure where it was imported from. Probably Canada.) Not bad for something costing half of Baileys.
I should have gotten a sherry (I prefer something cheap like Taylor)
But not on the list of honey drinks :mead.
Notice how none of the above is very expensive? I have rather plebeian tastes in alcohol. I wasn't tempted in the least by the bottles of $200 whiskey and $150 tequila at the liquor store yesterday. Maybe I'll win the lottery- someday - and be able to afford richer taste in liquid mind numbing substances. Nah....
