“Whew, this smells strong.”

“Does it?”

“Yeah. I can smell the velvet. And the hammer.”

The Verdict: Amazing

From The Tasting Notes –

This. Was. Fantastic. Would be a fantastic after-dinner drink. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. Nothing is overpowering, though the Cointreau comes through the strongest. It packs a punch, but a delicious punch. And it almost screams for a brownie to go with it.

    Was looking for a nice creamy holiday drink for our Christmas party. This was yummy, it will be added to the menu! I used Costco brand XO cognac. Thanks!

    I love this! My mom (married in 1977) dropped the name of this at dinner so I looked up the recipe and found your post. Hilarious!
