Following on from the wine threads.

What is your favourite Liqueur to have after dinner?

I enjoy a Tia Maria on the side with my coffee, whereas hubby likes a Gaelic coffee

I love Tia Maria over ice but there was also a creme de drambuie liqueur a while ago, not sure if it is still made but it was lovely. Quite like a Sambucca too. In fact, anything except that toothpaste one will do!

Glayva with ice, or an Amaretto Coffee

So far:

1. Gaelic coffee (Irish coffee where I'm from

2. Sambucca
3. Glayva

My choice: Any of those three

No, I don't set it alight - too much gel spray on my hair and too eager to drink it!
Toothpaste - I think it's Creme de menthe - green and tastes like Colgate

Anyone like Galliano?
It's the fab bit in a Harvey Wallbanger (delicious and refreshing) but also lovely on it's own as an after dinner liqueur.

My absolute favourite (although I've never seen it in any restaurant yet) is Stag's Breath - if you like Glayva you may well fall in love with this Jacqui - it's a liqueur made from Speyside whisky and fermented honey. It is very moreish, you have been warned

Occasionally will have a Heather Cream.
There is a lovely coffee liqueur from Portugal but name escapes me.
Hubby had a Tequila coffee in Mexico and the guy came out pt on a surgical mask and announced "Operation Coffee" He heated glass, dipped it in sugar, heated Tequila and so on . hubby swears it was the best liqueur he has ever had.

My favourite is Sambucca, lit, 3 coffee beans, blown out and sipped, not knocked back like a "shot" the way the young ones drink it.
I also love Galiano....especially in a coffe with cream. Mmmmmmmmm.
Hubby loves Glayva and when we go skiing, he has that in his hip flask, whilst mine has Sambucca!!
