Just found the recipe for the perfect nightcap coffee:

https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/greenland-coffee/index.html
I love a simple Irish coffee. I use decaf with a little sugar, add a jigger of whiskey, and lay some half-whipped cream on top. I use a little sugar in the cream too, but not much. Irish whiskey is ideal for this drink for some reason. Bourbon makes a fine alternative but it’s just not as good. A key factor in this drink is getting the glass pre-warmed and using hot coffee. It should be nice and hot while sipping it.

When I met my present partner in crime she took me home and fed me these, we have been together for around 40yrs now!:eek:

I feel boring tonight, this is all I got but the only thing that makes it nice is some "SMIRNOFF Peppermint Twist"

A few of these and I'm on my way........

Took a chance on this from Costco. $16 for case of 24 bottles. Cheaper than a case of Bud Light in cans. Same price as Natual Light in cans. Way better than either of those guys.

This beer is actually very decent for the price point. Imagine Bud Light with more flavor (esp hops). If you drink in volume or you're throwing a party and don't want to break the bank, check it out. If you're a beer snob, maybe just buy a case for a friend with less refined taste, and take one out just for a sample.

Looks interesting ... especially if you're in the mood for something light and refreshing ... it'd probably insult joey's delicate palate, though... :D
