So here I am, somewhere around the 2 a.m. hour, watching YouTube videos of the late, great Hunter S. Thompson, listening to Warren Zevon and finishing off my handle of Saint Brendan’s Irish Cream Liqueur. Sure it’s not as manly or cool as a trunk full of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers . . . and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. But hey, that’s okay. It’s getting me buzzed, and at the moment that’s good enough.
It’s funny because the handle has been sitting on top of the fridge for several months now. Actually, it’s not really funny, just relevant in so far as it’s been a slow process in ridding myself of the giant bottle of Irish cream as it sat collecting dust next to the frosted flakes. I originally purchased it in my search for a cheaper alternative to Amarula Cream Liqueur. And even though it’s not too far off, it’s definitely no Amarula. When drinking it straight like Amarula, it’s too sweet and milky for my taste—the obvious difference being it’s made with milk and Irish whiskey instead of fruit.
But if you’re looking for something besides Baileys to put in your coffee, then you might be in luck. Saint Brendan’s works great in hot, frozen, mixed and dessert drinks—and apparently in martini’s as referenced from their Web site. I should mention that my girlfriend wasn’t a fan no matter what we put it in and said it made her not want to kiss me when I had been drinking it. But hey, for the price I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Then again for the price, free beer doesn’t disappoint either. Either way, if you’re looking for a cream liqueur this will get the job done at a good price.
I truly liked perusing this content, I’m just irritated to be aware of don’t you market presented articles or blog posts? I will be constantly hunting for anyone to create tradings having in addition to merely believed I would question.
Thanks for your suggestions. One thing I’ve noticed is that banks in addition to financial institutions understand the spending habits of consumers and also understand that plenty of people max out their credit cards around the holiday seasons. They prudently take advantage of this particular fact and start flooding ones inbox as well as snail-mail box along with hundreds of no-interest APR credit cards offers immediately after the holiday season finishes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98% of all American community, you’ll jump at the opportunity to consolidate card debt and shift balances towards 0 APR credit cards.
