Gotta love this one. It is so good. The clove and sugar rim make your tongue and lips tingle, lol. And, the almond and orange flavor make it taste so much like fruit cake!! I'm sipping on this in late June and I'm thinking Xmas ;) Thanks for sharing this keeper.

This has a good taste and is quite potent. I rimmed the glass with sugar and cinnamon. Thanks Annacia. Made for Newest Zaar Tag
