Review: Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur is a seasonal release that one may say I’m very early or quite late reviewing.  The nice thing is if you can still find a bottle on your favorite liquor stores shelf, it’s probably been market down in price.  Pumpkin Spice, is one of several Mozart Chocolate Cream varieties that includes, Mozart Chocolate Cream, Dark Chocolate Cream, White Chocolate Vanilla Cream, and White Chocolate Cream Strawberry.  MCC Pumpkin Spice is made with real pumpkin juice, bourbon vanilla, fresh cream, sugar, Belgium chocolate, West African cocoa beans, cinnamon, clove, turmeric, and a dash of chill spice, blended with the center cut of beet sugar alcohol.

Review: Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur

Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur is made with real dairy cream, spiced rum, and French Brandy.  This is my fourth eggnog liqueur review, and bottled at 29.5 proof it has the highest alcohol content.  29.5 proof is not especially high for a cream liqueur as RumChata is bottled at 27 proof and Baileys Irish Cream is bottled at 34 proof.  Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur is produced in Mira Loma California by Levecke Corporation, and it is sold at Trader Joe’s October-December, or while supply lasts.  Read more »

Review: Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Liqueur is now available for a limited time at your local Trader Joes.  It is produced and bottled by Universal Brands in Princeton Minnesota.  Pumpkin has become an iconic seasonal flavor in spite of the fact that pumpkin spice provides most of the flavor and aroma.  Unless you are eating pumpkin pie or a pumpkin product that includes the statement “made with real pumpkin” don’t expect there to be any actual pumpkin in it.  Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Liqueur does not include an ingredient list but I’m guessing it is made with fresh dairy cream, neutral spirits, natural flavors, and caramel color.  Also not included on the bottles label is a message to refrigerate after opening, but lets be honest if this tastes as good as it sounds do you really think there will be any left after Thanksgiving.

Review: Tippy Cow Peppermint Bark Rum Cream

Tippy Cow Peppermint Bark Rum Cream was just released.  It joins the Tippy Cow family of rum creams that already includes Vanilla Soft Serve, Chocolate, Shamrock Mint, and Orange.  I don’t know about you but when I think Peppermint Bark, I think of those delicious Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark squares that come out about this time every year and disappear with the Holiday season.  Tippy Cow is made in Pewaukee Wisconsin by Midwest Custom Bottling.  This is the same place RumChata is created.  Tippy Cow Peppermint Bark is made with fresh Wisconsin dairy cream, Caribbean Rum, natural and artificial flavors, and caramel color.

Review: Baileys Strawberries and Cream

Baileys Strawberries and Cream is a seasonal Limited Edison liqueur that will be available February-April or until supply lasts.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle a little early.  This is their second seasonal flavor following Baileys Pumpkin Spice.  While no ingredients are listed on the bottle, Baileys Original Irish Cream is made with aged Irish whiskey, grain spirits, fresh dairy cream, and a unique chocolate blend.  This bottle reads Baileys Strawberries and Cream is infused with a delightful ripe strawberry flavor and the taste of delicious vanilla.
