==================
De Kuyper liqueurs at Lee and Mary's house. At one time, as
I recall, this was a reputable brand. No more.

Hot Damn! cinnamon schnapps - no schnapp in this, merely a
watered-down cinnamon candy taste, no heat to speak of.
Fairly sweet. The label suggests taking a shot of it with
a dash of Tabasco, yielding a fiery experience. No. I tried
a couple more, ending with half schnapps and half Tabasco.
Nothing of interest. Wimpy, flabby, low in taste. C-/D+

Triple Sec - the attack is water, followed by a wash of
moldy orange peel, then sugar syrup. Most unimpressive.
The claim is made of 15% (30 proof) alcohol. I doubt even
that. To test my doubts, I drank 10 oz of it. No effect
except for a slight queasiness from the sugar. D-

We found some Vandermint left over from our friend Wendy's
cellar when she went to sea a year ago.

Acid rain

1/2 oz Vandermint

Combine and shoot.

Off the Internet

This was nasty nasty. Orange-chocolate nose with a touch
of herbal, woody chocolaty midpalate, rancid finish. The
reason we tried this is because Lee and Mary's son found
it when researching what to do with dribs and drabs of
spare booze. Advice: don't do it. D/D-

Don's jerky spread with butter, as suggested in a recipe
posted by Jim. I imagined it would be nice. It was nicer
than I imagined. A!!!

--

Lindt Excellence - these are the nonflavored versions of
what I'd brought to the picnic -

intense dark 70 - slight waxiness. Prominent vanilla on nose.
Fruity, a little tart, rather sweet. B

extra dark 85 - slight waxiness. Cooked prunes, a little tart.
Nice balance. A-

supreme dark 90 - very hard but melted surprisingly smooth.
Intense fruitiness; a little too bitter. B+/A-

Decaffeinated coffees

Lavazza cafe filtre - decent coffee/chocolate aroma, nothing
at all on the palate. Okay finish.

tasted against

Barista Bold - quite a nice rich aroma, less nice on the
palate, the good coffeeness going rapidly to that dead
decaffeinated taste and a bitter finish.
