Drink of the Day: Xaviera
Good Monday to all! Hope you all had a great weekend. Very nice and short week in store for us this week. So, to help us along, I have found a perfect cream cocktail that will put you at ease.
This cocktail would be a perfect intro to an after-dinner treat on Thanksgiving Day. For the next few days, I will be rummaging through the cocktails to find you some festive ones to enjoy during the holiday weekend. I’m sure a few of you would want to test them out before sharing them with loved ones. At least that will be my excuse.
A great blend of coffee liqueur, amaretto, and triple sec, brought together with cream, will be a nice day-ender. Be ready to slip into something a little more comfortable before getting too carried away imbibing on these. You will certainly be in the mood for a slumber after a hearty meal and a nice liquid dessert such as this one.
Let’s enjoy this short week, shall we. Hope this will assist on making the end of your Monday a pleasant one. Cheers!
