I’ve never had liqueur in my life..have no idea what is or what’s it used for. But I picked this bottle up at the distillery shop when we were on vacation last summer in England’s Cotswold district. I finally cracked it open last night, and figured out it makes amazing raspberry coulis ( which is the sauce that goes on chocolate cakes or cheesecakes). I made classic New York style cheesecake yesterday, and used this to cook with some raspberries for the coulis. As a sauce, it’s amazing—adds a layer of complexity that’s not normally found in the regular coulis. Brings out the berry flavors more. Taking a few sips while making it: all chocolate and berries. Definitely a summer time item. Overall, for barely $10, it’s really good. Not sure I’ll be using it as a sipper, but I think it’ll make for great dessert sauce recipes, coffee additions, and ice cream topping.

@PBMichiganWolverine Ha, I've not had a real hangover since university, many years ago - and then only a couple of times. Not fun, but you do it when you're young and silly. However, never having been at all drunk - that's a surprise. At the end of any typical 6-7 dram tasting session (particularly if they are cask-strength expressions) I'm a little light-headed. Maybe I'm getting old ...
@Reverend357 I’ve yet to be drunk or experience a hangover. No idea what it’s like...and at my age now, probably no desire ...
@Reverend357 Awww, 3/4 of a bottle of Baileys. I feel ill already - you must have been calling Herb on the porcelain telephone all night :-)
@cascode what’s advocaat?
Yep - that's one of the uses of liqueurs :-) Some are just for sipping, but most can be mixed or used for cooking, to great effect. A nice liqueur is my guilty pleasure (I have a taste for neat advocaat, and that's just wrong)..
Nice, love a good cheesecake...I suck at cooking however (I think it's genetic from what I remember of my mums food). Lucky my wife has that side covered!
