Cream in your Coffee, Pep in your Step
Fall is upon us here in the Northeast, and that makes me yearn for a hot cup of coffee, cider, or tea…with a little something extra thrown in. Who doesn’t love a nice Irish Coffee (with a bit of Jameson) when the weather turns cool?

Malarky!
I love champagne in my cocktails year-round. Top off a drink with a lil’ bubbly and it typically balances out heavier ingredients. Here’s another gem taken from my Beefeater 24 cocktail book—this one’s from Anastatia Miller and Jared Brown.

New Product: Kahlua Coffee Cream Liqueur
There’s a new product from the Kahlua line that’s about to make its debut and I have a feeling it’s going to be a hit for the holiday season. It’s Kahlua Coffee Cream Liqueur—think consistency of Bailey’s or Castries but with that famous Kahlua coffee flavor. Yum!
I’m lucky enough to have already had the chance [...]
