Metaxa Seven Star Brandy
Rating: NNN
Why Sweetened with muscat wines and flavoured with a bouquet of secret herbs that probably includes rose petals, Metaxa has a unique taste that’s hard to pin down. It makes a mean caffè corretto (espresso shot plus hard shot) with a Greek twist.

Criollo Chocolate Sea Salted Caramel
Rating: NNN
Why I have a few serious weaknesses, and espresso, chocolate and salted caramel rank pretty high on the vice-o-meter. Try with cold brew.

Amarula Cream
Rating: NNN
Why Spruce up your mug with a measure of this nutty, citrusy cream liqueur made from wild South African fruit. Fun fact: during amarula season, the over-ripe fruit is so plentiful that elephants gorge themselves into a drunken stupor. Note: there are videos.
Price 750 ml/$24.45 until Mar 2
