Amarula Coffee

Amarula CoffeeAn indulgent and creamy warming coffee treat to warm you through on a cold winter’s night. Extremely simple to make – all you need to do is pour the hot coffee into a heat resistant serving glass or cup and then add the Amarula Cream to float on the top by pouring it carefully over the back of a spoon.

Bene N Hot

Bene N HotMade with Bénédictine - the traditional herbal liqueur from Normandy first made by Bénédictine monks as a medicinal elixir in the 16th century. This cocktail recipe is made from equal quantities of Bénédictine and hot water – ideal to heat you up from the inside on a cold winter’s day. At the end of the First World War, the 11th Battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment were stationed in Normandy near to where Bénédictine is made – and developed a taste for the liqueur mixed with hot water. The Bene’n’Hot soon became their preferred tipple due to its supposed medicinal and fortifying properties which kept them going during the final winter of the war. When returning home, the soldiers found the warming qualities of a Bene’n’Hot equally effective against the cold of the Lancashire winters. In the Burnley and Blackburn area of Lancashire – this is still one of the most popular mixed drinks today having been passed down through the generations.

The hot coffee blended with the warming cognac plus the chocolate flavour of the De Kuyper Crème de Cacao Brown and the marzipan flavours of Disaronno creates the ultimate in rich coffee cocktails.
