Does Sabra Liquer Go Bad?

I got a bottle from a friend. We’re not sure how old it is. Some of the chocolate has settled to the bottom and solidified. It still smells delicious. I just worry that it may not be safe to drink anymore. My google fu has failed me here.

I do kind of need an answer fast. I have limited willpower here and may just give in and drink the stuff.

Thanks for you help.

Alcohol is used as an antiseptic, so I would say that drinking it will not make you sick. It might not taste very good, but you would be okay.

That’s what I thought at first But then I remembered reading on the SDMB that Harvey’s Bristol Cream, bottled Kahlua Mudslides etc that contain dairy do indeed go bad and inside a year.

Sabra doesn’t have a very long shelf life. Best bet is to chuck it and buy a new bottle.

Liquor starts out bad, so there!

Harvey’s Bristol Cream has no dairy. It’s sherry. You’re possibly thinking of Bailey’s Irish Cream.

My God, they still make Sabra!?

Silenus What exactly do you mean by not having a very long shelf life?

Araminty oops. Bailey’s Irish Cream is what I was thinking of.

Alessan Why shouldn’t they make it? First, you taste fire. Then, you taste chocolate and orange. I love the stuff. Searching the web for more information revealed that besides the original, they now make a coffee flavor and an orange-flavored brandy.

I had to google it to see if still comes in that ‘I dream of Jeannie’ shaped bottle. It does. Which brings back fond childhood memories of the mysteries of my parents’ liquor cabinet. They were never big drinkers and I swear they only bought booze based of the interesting shape of the bottle it came in. :slight_smile:

The chocolate tends to separate, as you have noticed. More specific I can’t find, but every source I’ve checked (including the guy at Bevmo yesterday) says “limited shelf life,” unlike some others which will last virtually forever if unopened.

Don’t you live in Israel? I’d assume you would see it in every liquor store. But TBH, I don’t remember how they sell booze in Israel.

That’s why I was so surprised - I haven’t seen a bottle of Sabra in my supermarket or wine shop for decades. I guess they’re export-only these days.
