>>My mom also used to make her own annisette (sp) and use it in her coffee.<<
Really? That’s a new one! Licorice coffee? I’m not sure I’d like it but hey, yum-o for her!
Yep. We had a whole lot of homemade stuff, some of it with alcohol. She had this certain decanter or bottle with tape on it that said “annisette” and once I tasted her coffee and was like, ewwww. Black coffee with this sweet taste. Ha! It did taste like licorice, black licorice which I don’t like. Most of the bottles in our house had tape on them, identifying what they were.
Spaghetti gravy, or red gravy, or sauce to some, also has red wine in it. At least a cup of it :)
I make my Mom’s Irish Cream (she was italian but made the irish cream and also candy irish potatoes) but don’t haven’t labeled the bottles.
My husband, we have lots of football and other parties, makes awesome jello shots (don’t get me started, you’d think we were obsessed with booze) in the colors of the teams and makes non-alcoholic ones for the kids. I don’t do shots normally but his jello shots are good. He’s also the Margarita King (another thing I don’t drink) and they’re frozen or not frozen, lol.
And get this. He also bought an Ice Luge for our last PS/ND party. It was fun :)
