Liquors. Did I spell that right? You know, the sweet, syrupy stuff. Do you like any?

I'm not much a fan as I grow older but used to love Yukon Jack, " For those cold whorey nights when men struggle to keep their fires lit and their cabins warm."

B&B used to be a favorite, I loved sipping on that stuff.

Now I'm watching my weight and alcohol has taken a back seat but when I do imbibe it's usually with Frangelico. Either straight or with half/half. The latter is rare.

Schnapps might not fit this category, I don't really know, but peach schnapps hits the spot. I don't care if folks call it a girly drink, I like it.

How about you?
Any of the great Plum ones from Eastern Europe/Baltic regions. Dutch ice skating herbal ones are interesting as well

There was a period in time I really liked Butterscotch Schnapps. I don’t remember the brand but it was like a full flavored butterscotch candy. Kept in the freezer it was a great summer shot…or shots.

After visiting the wonder that is Barcelona a couple of weeks ago I’ve plowed through a lot of Grand Marnier (as well as cava and albarino) trying to perfect my white sangria recipe. But I’m usually a wine, beer or bourbon guy. My usual sweet-stuff go to in the chilly months is LBV port. Drank a lot of Amaretto in college, but have moved away from most sweet drinks over the years.

Give 'em the beans!
@Vibroluxer Slyrs makes a "honey and vanilla" flavored liqueur. It's very sweet, makes an acceptable dessert drink.

My wife and I like an occasional Rome with a View, which is Campari, vermouth, lime juice, soda water, and syrup. We've also enjoyed a variant that is just Campari and prosecco. Not real sweet though.

I'm one of those weirdos that likes banana flavored stuff, even if it's not 'real' banana flavor.
Fun Fact: Banana flavourings are based on the Gros Michel variety of Banana, which was eradicated by Panama disease in the 50's. All bananas we see now are Cavendish bananas, which taste different, so we no longer perceive banana flavouring to taste like banana.

Tuaca perhaps? I used to ski with a guy who kept a flask of the stuff in his pocket and would hit it between runs, and would make Chewbacca sound effects to announce when it was time.

That doesn’t ring a bell.

Oh yes. Kahlua on ice cream for instance. I guess they call them patfaits.
When I was in high school my mother would often bring me a bowl of vanilla ice cream covered in Kahlua in the evening while I did my homework. I don't think either of us realized it contained hooch...🥴
