Cuarenta y tres
Cuarenta y tres (43) licor.
This is a vanilla (among other) flavored liqueur from Spain. Has anyone else tried this? I'm not really an imbiber as my friends know, but we went to a tapas restaurant tonight. At the end of the meal Kelly let slip to the waitress that it was my birthday, so she brought me a shot of this gratis I shared it around the table, but, damn, this stuff is really good. I may have to spring for a bottle of this. http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-3252.aspx Another link Quote:

Have to look for this. The only other vanilla liqueur I was aware of is Vanille Royale out of the Caribbean.

LOL, thank my watiress, Doug!
THEN she says "it's hard to find..." suggested Dorignac's, about the only grocery that would have it here, locally.

My only word of warning is that after a spicy meal, you will likely pull out a LOT more vanilla than usual. I did this with a flavored whisky once. Ate some salsa then took a drink of Revel Stoke spiced whisky. It was so good I bought a bottle...Hated every single sip once I got the damn thing home.

Thanks for the warning, Mackenzie. This meal was very flavorful, but not a great deal of spice or heat. Lots of herbs and garlic, cheese, serrano ham, and chorizo (sliced thin, like salami.)
I found the alcohol strong, but then, I would. Once I get some for home, I'm going to let it sit a few moments like I do with cream sherry.
