Your Favorite After Dinner Drink?

?????????

 

[Ivan Kipling]

Napoleon Brandy.

Lots of variables, but ideal is probably port with the cheesecake and then espresso with a shot of sambuca.

Tom

 

[Stu]

Calvados or port

 

[Buster]

Tokaji or Port

 

[odoreater]

Heineken

 

[whodini]

A .357 if I'm feeling sweet, a rusty nail if I'm feeling manly.

 

[philosophe]

amaro, grappa, cognac

 

[Britalian]

Limoncello or grappa

 

[Huntsman]

A Rusty Nail if I'm feeling sweet, really good scotch if I'm feeling manly.

Otherwise, any number of ports, and traditional after-dinner cordials (Galliano, B&B, etc) depending on mood. I had this really dry, not sweet, amaretto from Portuagal out recently and I simply must find some and buy it.

Regards,
Huntsman

 

[VMan]

Chambord and Brandy/Cognac, mixed on the rocks.

B&B is also good.

 

[drizzt3117]

I'm fond of Blue Label...

 

[Tomasso]

Port.

Armagnac

Isn't Calvados traditionally had in the middle of a meal? I like mine at the end, anyway.

I think what you are referring to here is le trou normande--the idea being that a nice shot or two will burn a hole where you can stuff some more food.
I like armagnac too. Nothing wrong with a little eau de vie from Alsace either--framboise sauvage or poire William are my favorites. Marc or grappa if you are feeling a little sauvage yourself.
Not long ago I had a very nice conversation with my father-in-law about Norman rule in Sicily over a bottle of 14 year old Macallan.
