Think my wife uses the same or very similiar recipe. I'll use it in my coffee in the morning, but during the week need to remember to go lite, or a couple cups of coffee and I'm feeling to good to trade.Quote from acronym:
Well, nobody said it had to be alcoholic.
Homemade baileys style liquor is darn good.
There's various recipes, but the one i used had most of a bottle of fine whiskey, 4 (or more, for thickness) eggs, a tin of sweetened condensed milk, vanilla essence and top quality chocolate/topping/coca melted choc etc. (depended on what was available, topping is easiest, but not as good) and if i recall, an entire 600ml tub of thickened cream.
Holy cow that is tasty stuff.
I guess, you could just dissolve lard in 90% proof alcohol nutritionally, but DAMN this stuff is good.

Are you a vodka snob? Do you routinely buy a pricey brand over a less expensive one? If so, you're part of a growing trend. "20/20" wanted to see what all the fuss was about ⦠so we conducted a little test.
And no vodka brand has made a bigger splash than the $30 a bottle super-premium brand Grey Goose. A Grey Goose commercial says it is "rated the best-tasting vodka in the world."
A little strange, given that the U.S. government's definition of vodka, said DeGroff, is: "Tasteless, odorless, colorless ⦠You are buying the bottle. You're buying the sexiness. You're buying the whole package."
The first test involved tasting the vodkas "neat," which means straight and at room temperature. Kay thought vodka No. 1 tasted "very spicy. It burns the tongue." Gurock said vodka No. 2 "was very light, it went down beautifully." Gliksman thought vodka No. 3 "has a really nice aroma." And Glenn McGinness said, "I'm guessing that five is the Grey Goose."
After a half hour of sniffing and sipping, five of the six testers agreed on one thing: They all hated vodka No. 1.
Freeland described it as "kind of thick and not smooth at all. Something I would never ever buy." Kay called it her "least favorite one, for sure."
The Surprising Results
Finally, the moment of truth. Klemm revealed that vodka No. 1 -- the group's least favorite -- was Grey Goose. Everyone was flabbergasted.
"No way!!!" said Freeland.
"I can't believe that!" exclaimed Kay. "I mean I'm really very loyal to it. And I just totally dismissed it."
"I'm shocked," said Gliksman. "I really am shocked, because it was bad."
"I guess that says something about the marketing then, doesn't it?" said DeGroff. "They're not relying heavily on their taste buds. They're relying more heavily on the perceived value, or the status."

No, I have not, but I hear it is excellent.
Mellon Balls? I thought you had more taste than that as a youth!
My favorite shot is a water moccasin (crown, peach, sour).
I would think you would be a Seag 7/Crown/VO-Manhatten kind of guy?
Newcastle is my favorite beer. I haven't tried that Boston Lager yet, I'll have to give it a shot this weekend.
