Light refreshing pineapple and orange.  Kind of reminds me of a orange drink with pineapple and has a little kick. — Captain Morgan infuses their rum with natural flavors of nature and this is a very refreshing drink. Nice to pour into a chilled glass with a slice of orange or pineapple or both for a garnish in the glass to kick it up a notch. Thinking about it a bit of banana would good too in this. — Captain Morgan Parrot Bay comes in a six pack for around $6.99. They also have other flavors to tease your taste buds. "Mojito" (lime and mint), "Pineapple Colada"  (pineapple and coconut), "Matava Blue" (berry and kiwi) and "Wave Runner" (passion fruit and mango). This is a malt beverage with 5% alcohol. — Please remember Do not drink and drive! —...

Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Mojito and let me tell you this is one very refreshing drink. A nicer blend then the old simple wine cooler. — Picture Captain Morgan infused with lime and a hint of mint, chilled to perfection and you have a wonderful drink.  I don't taste the Captain Morgan, but the combination is very good.   I was very iffy when I saw the bottle because I am not a Captain Morgan rum drinker, but I am very happy I gave it a try. Cool and refreshing on a hot summers day by the grill, around the fire pit or by pool side (tried all places and worked well :) — They also have other flavors to tease your taste buds. "Sunset Surf "(orange and pineapple), "Pineapple Colada"  (pineapple and coconut), "Matava Blue" (berry and kiwi) and "Wave Runner" (passion...

Rather than follow the path of typical flavored vodkas where they just use an artificial flavoring, Hangar One uses actual mandarin fruit and flowers to infuse the orange taste. The result is nothing less than authentic flavor. It is so good you can drink it without a mixer and still swear it has been mixed with something. The other benefit is that the Hangar One vodka is very high quality and produces no hangover effects. — — Makes a great cosmo but my favorite is simply with soda. — — Enjoy! — —...

I love it! —...

I like it over ice with milk. Plain and simple, but very delicious! Also, try it over plain vanilla or french vanilla ice cream, it is refreshing and when served in a glass bowl or fancy dish serves as a quick and fancy dinner party dessert. —...

It had been sitting in the cooler since i started that job and I had to see why it wasn't selling. Come to find out it was amazing I have no qualms with this spirit! After i tasted it and decided it was being overlooked i got nearly 20 people hooked with some promo shot i made up using the liqueur. Needless to say it may be pricy but its worth...

I believe it is even smoother than Grey Goose. It's light and doesn't leave that awful lighter fluid taste in your mouth even if you drink it straight up. After having tried this vodka it is hard to go back to anything else! I certainly recommend this product to all vodka conniseurs and especially martini...

When I decided to become a lawyer I decided that I was going to try all of the "typical" old boy delights that are supposed to be enjoyed by lawyers and bankers. Unfortunately, or to be as expected the only ones that I stuck with were steak and single malt. — I say unfortunately because it can be pricey, and the single malt's I like are hard to find in small town Michigan where I now live. — Here is how The Balvenie describes its fantastic 15yr old Port Wood. — A delicious Speyside single malt with vanilla oak and honeyed, fruity sweetness on the nose and a rich distinctive taste with hits of ripe apricots and dried fruits rounded off with a vanilla oakiness. Its finish is rich, fruity and long. — My translation, this whisky tastes warm and smooth when you drink it. It has a strong fruity aroma, like a dry red wine, perhaps a cabernet, and then the distinctive warm smoky smell of whiskey. — Single malts...

My most recent are Kahlua Chocolate Lattes. I like Mudslides better but the Chocolate Lattes will do just fine! Recently I bought a package of four pre-made drinks called Kahlua B-52. They are delicious. — — A Closer View — — Kahlua is my favorite drink so finding these pre-made 200 ml bottles were terrific. I don't drink much so I can make one bottle last a couple of nights. — Kahlua B-52 has the flavors or Irish Cream and essence of orange and added caramel color. — Kahlua B-52 has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5% which is the average for beer. Liqueur usually has a higher ABV with straight Kahlua in the 20% ABV range. — Kahlua is imported by Hiram Walker & Sons, Batavia, New York. — I paid $7.99 for the four pack which is expensive but I like the convenience especially when I'm on the road or not home. . — Kahlua B-52 has little smell or taste of...

It tastes great, very rich, and mixes very well with vodka. To make the best martini, I use a chocolate vodka, the Godiva White Chocolate, and the Godiva Dark Chocolate. Then I shake it and pour into a chilled martini glass swirled with chocolate syrup. My customers love it, and it is now one of the most popular drinks...

Keep it in the freezer until you're ready, pour into a glass with ice and sit back and enjoy. It goes down smooth and always leaves you with a smile....

Lagavulin provides a soothing blend of sweetness, brine, and smoke that makes it unique among its competitors. Like Laphroaig (my number one), it comes from Islay; however, Lagavulin is a bit more subtle and rounded. While, I like the slightly more intense elements of Laphroaig, Lagavulin softer tone might be better suited for the novice. — — Drink it in small amounts; straight or perhaps with a slight splash of water, but NEVER with...
