Your favorite way to lace coffee

[Connemara]

Well, the grappa I had was 110 proof, so I was probably drunk before it hit my taste buds.

you have proabaly had only bad sambuca. most commercial batches are unbearable but some are decnt adn the house made sambuca( sambuca fatta in casa) can be excellent.

and i sma still puzzled over the term fresh grappa could anyone expalin what it is?

I thought grappa was by definition a hard liquor, so always 40+ proof, and freshness irrelevant.

Manton, I'm horrified. Find a place where you can purchase Jacopo Poli Sarpa Reserva di Poli. I'm sure Astor would stock it or could get it. http://www.winebow.com/italy/Poli%20...%20Riserva.pdf I would be very confused if it did not please you. If it doesn't I'll come to the city and buy it back from you. ~ Huntsman

I enjoy either a heavy dose of Kahlua or Bailey's in my mud.

Oh, Jamieson's here for a simple warmer. Coffee cocktails, well now that's a whole 'nother world.

I enjoy sambuca (molinari) in my expresso....Delicious.

This is the perfect thread for the holiday season. Personally, I like Baily's at home and I get an Irish coffee when at brunch as a starter. It seems like the most reasonable transition into the day.

Kahlua is good, Bailey's is better.

I couldn't imagine drinking coffee with sambuca and I don't even mind sambuca...

The traditional way to serve sambuca is neat with a few toasted coffee beans. The two flavors mix well together.

Arsenic. Although they never proved it and I'm not admitting to anything.

 

[sho'nuff]

usually i would lace it with some more cream.

sometimes when no one is looking, i go really bad and put a little more sugar in it.

mmmmmm
