The Stiletto is April 19th Drink of the Day!!
I enjoy reading other’s blogs to keep updated on current trends, to check out reviews on wines and beer, and to keep on common ground with what I talk about on here. Of course, when I feel something has been given unjust history, or know when someone is blowing smoke, I do not share this information. Sometimes too much is, well…..to much.
One of the blogs I try to keep up-to-date on is Blair Frodelicious at www.GoodSpriritsNews.com. Luckily, I caught today’s headline from his site. Today is National Amaretto Day. To celebrate the only way I know how, I looked at the backlog of videos we have for the coming Drinks of the Day, to make sure I could find something to recognize this wonderful liqueur that has been around since the 16th Century. Commonly known to be a almond flavored liqueur, there are other herbs that also bring out it’s sweet flavor and is a great mixer, besides being very good on its own.
Hope you enjoy today’s choice. And to all of you who loves Amaretto everyday, here’s one for you to enjoy! Cheers!
