Spiced Amaretto
"I love Amaretto or other liqueurs for dessert. This could go either way, before or after dinner. I usually don't like the taste of most hard liquors, but the spiced rum with the amaretto was incredibly delicious! The addition of club soda makes it a nice before dinner drink, and, alternatively, the cream makes it a luscious dessert drink. (And I admit to using fat free half and half and it was great.) Thanks to Boomette's Disacolada for the inspiration!"

Man I really expected to love this but I didnt for some reason. I used cream. Thanks for posting though.! -
Mmmmmmm, yumm. I cut the whole drink half and served it in a shot glass. 3 ounces of smoothness! I loved the spice and the warmth of the amaretto. My first inclination was to go with the club soda but I don't have any in the house and didn't want to go out and buy a bottle for 1 ounce. I used fat free coffee creamer and it worked perfectly with this combo. This will be very easy to love in the summer with ice or lightly warmed in the winter by the fire. Thanks Dee :D. -
I love rum and I like amaretto. First I tried it with club soda. Then I added half and half cream. It had a good taste. But it's not my favorite. Sorry. Thanks for posting. Made for 123 hit wonders. -
I used cream (half and half) to make this drink and it was very smooth and creamy. Thanks for a great drink! Made for 1-2-3 Tag.

If I weren't a teacher, I'd be a chef. I love to cook, grew up cooking, had a fireman chef for a dad, and have spent most of my free time with cookbooks, food, entertaining, classes, study, and luckily I'm in one of the best food areas in the world! But...teaching is the absolute best job in the world. Don't tell anyone, but it's more like fun and you never get bored.
My pet peeve is when people spell DEFINITELY wrong. I DEFINITELY don't want to read more reviews with DEFINITELY spelled wrong. But hey, I'm an English teacher :). My other pet peeve, food-wise, is "cream of whatever" soup. I think my mom OD'd us all on it when I was growing up.
My biggest challenge in cooking was trying to learn FAST food. At an "older" age, I married, had a baby and have had to learn a new way to cook! No more leisurely hours to fix dinner for friends or an hour to put something together for me....! My daughter is seven now, opinionated, and it's a real challenge. Luckily she likes almost everything. And so does my sweetie. I loved seeing her horrified face at her first abalone fresh from the ocean (my husband dives for them occasionally...oh man, nothing better...) But she ate them and then slurped down some oysters!!!
