\"Disaronno<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve seen the television commercial: sexy girl in an oh-so-sexy dress, casually strolls up to the casually hip bar to an eagerly awaiting, perfectly messy-haired bartender only too willing to provide the proverbial nighttime companion\u2014Disaronno\u2026on the rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is this caramel-colored concoction truly the world\u2019s favorite Italian liqueur? And what exactly does Disaronno <\/a>on the rocks taste like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disaronno on the Rocks Taste Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My initial tasting thoughts were this is not your typical party drink. I expected something closely resembling a coconut rum. But the taste was something much different. Something very much its own. It was smooth, unique. A far cry from the Captain Morgan’s and Malibus with which we\u2019re all accustomed. But while I imagined it being an acceptable and even exciting bar drink, the ladies took a completely different view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel likened the taste to an old man\u2019s candy and rubbing alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt tastes like a Werther\u2019s original melted with alcohol poured in, and it smells like vanilla extract. I mean I like it, but not at first. It was harsh\u2013so I\u2019d say it has an acquired taste. It\u2019d be like a nightcap, like Cognac brandy. But the way the advertisement displays it is some sexy girl walks to the bar, but that\u2019s not how I would describe it. It just doesn\u2019t taste like a sexy drink. Let\u2019s just say if I were out at a bar, this would not be my drink of choice. It\u2019s not arousing at all\u2013and it\u2019s definitely not the kind of drink that makes you want to go have sex.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cayla took a slightly different view but agreed with the lack of sexiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt tastes like vanilla extract mixed with rum and smells like almonds\u2013which also means it smells just like anthrax\u2013but let\u2019s just say almonds. I also thought it would be more fiery than it was. I was pleasantly surprised. [It\u2019s] a drink for when you are staying in, reading a book on a cold night. It\u2019s a comfortable drink.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So at this point, I\u2019m sure you just want to know if it\u2019s good or not. My answer is yes. Will it get you laid? Probably not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
