Rumchata
Rating NNNN
Why It’s nearly impossible to hate on something this delicious. A blend of Caribbean rum, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, rice and sugar inspired by Mexico’s beloved horchata, Rumchata is a fresh take on a tired category of liqueurs. Apply liberally to coffee, ice cream, cake or french toast, or enjoy on the rocks.

Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream
Rating NNN
Why Turns out the desserty flavours that boost bourbon’s mass appeal – vanilla, caramel, chocolate – translate well into cream form. No big surprise there. Pour a few fingers in your coffee and dunk stale Christmas cookies back to life.

Forty Creek Cream
Rating NNN
Why Forty Creek Cream isn’t as cloying as one might expect from something labelled “cream liqueur.” Gentle on all fronts – alcohol, sweetness and overall flavour profile – and predictably simple to sip.
