Wine or Whiskey?

[Kelly]

We don't drink wine or beer…

So then you will definitely NEED to try Skrewball Whiskey … I was at Total Wines the other day to get more Skrewball when I saw Creme De Cacoa and OMG! that is like chocolate syrup in my mouth.

During the holidays we enjoy a dash of creme de cacao or de menthe in an evening hot coffee.

Is it because he hasn’t found anything that he likes? I can HELP with that……. My hubby didn’t use to drink, then he found me

 

[Kelly]

Is crime de menthe sorta like peppermint?? I haven’t had that yet …. But will be looking for that at Total Wines

 

[MaryFlora]

Valeriea it is a yummy little extra as it really is just a dash or two, and the bottle lasts a long time. You can put up in your cupboard and save for the next holiday season.

The brand we liked, Kelly, was MerryMint and it was a mint chocolate flavor.

Omg! @Minimor !! I was just outside chatting with my neighbors about whiskey. They started talking about Fireball. I haven’t ever heard of it before until you mentioned it. It’s only noon here, but they didn’t care, they brought me out a shot and OMG! It is soooooo goood! It taste like a red hot candy!! Pure cinnamon!!! ♥♥

Need to find my closest Specs

I know I'm late on reading this thread, I love Fireball. This time of year I get pumpkin beer and ad a shot of Fireball. Yummy! Also this year I added it my Pumpkin flavored coffee. Yum!

Would that work in black tea? I don't drink coffee.

I like tea also but never tried adding anything to it! One track mind I really do think it would work just fine, for some reason I think the mint would be a better choice than chocolate in the tea. Maybe because mint tea is a common blend.

I’d start with a dash and see how you like it then adjust to taste.

Hmmm...time to go shopping for a small bottle for this season!

 

[Kelly]

This winter I plan to add Fireball to my hot tea!! It taste like cinnamon red hot candy….haven’t tried it yet, but I am thinking it will be delicious

I have chocolate hazelnut tea blend, it's pretty good.

 

[MaryFlora]

That sounds delicious Chanda! Did you blend that yourself?

 

[chandab]

The tea is Stash brand, I think. I get it from Swanson's vitamins, flavor choices of anything are limited locally. I'll grab a link.
Stash Tea Chocolate Hazelnut Decaf Tea 18 Bag(s) - Swanson Health Products (swansonvitamins.com)

 

[MaryFlora]

Thanks Chanda! That does look good, will have to see about getting a box!

 

[Kelly]

That tea sounds amazing! I think I would add a little Cream de Cacao to it

 

[chandab]

I add a little honey for sweetener, as I don't like straight tea without something to sweeten it.

 

[HersheyMint]

For those of you who like cinnamon, cloves and orange flavors, have you tried Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea by Harney and Sons? It's the only tea I haven't had to add a sweetener to. Yum

 

[MaryFlora]

Yes! It’s wonderful and a tin is sitting in our kitchen.
