Mandarine Napoleon

Pros: Wonderful taste, very versatile. Head swimmingly strong.

Cons: Headache inducing strong.

The Bottom Line: A wonderful but dangerous discovery!

Review: Our drinks cupboard demonstrates our love of travel. As Britain is one of the most expensive places in Europe for buying alcohol (with the exception of Ireland and Scandinavian countries) we can rarely resist a rummage in the airport duty free shop. ...

Pros: Exotic, unique and VERY flavorful.

Cons: Pricey and a bit sweet all by itself.

Pros: strong, rich taste, mixes well

Cons: expensive and hard to find

Review: One of the things my boyfriend Patrick and I will often tell people who don't know what to give us as gifts, is to go to the SAQ (Société des Alcools du Québec) and pick out a bottle of something they've never seen before. If they're lucky, chances are...
