We’re hurtling towards Christmas at a rate of knots, and I for one cannot wait. That said, there is much to do before I can relax, which is why I was so delighted to discover Somrus Coffee, a rum based cream liqueur.
Perfect as a gift, the bottle is covered in a stylish Christmassy, indented gold jacket which will not only stand out in the drinks’ cabinet, but as the standout present beneath the Christmas tree.
Certain scents and tastes immediately bring Christmas to mind, and in this respect Somrus Coffee does not disappoint, I will certainly be using it in some Christmas cocktails such as the one’s below, and poured over vanilla ice cream for a no effort Christmas dessert, Looking for words to describe the taste, I found myself instinctively smacking my lips (it helps me think – at least that is what I tell my wife.) Served over ice Somrus coffee is a smooth well balanced well gentle hit of alcohol and yes, lip smacking, with a subtle taste of coffee coming through.
