The wife is not much of a drinker but does enjoy the occasional after-dinner aperitif. Her favorites are Bailey’s and Kahlua (the latter especially poured over ice cream), but even then she can make a bottle last for months. She’s also tried and liked Galliano and limoncello.
The Godiva chocolate liqueur is good.
1 part chocolate liqueur
1 part vodka or soju if you want the drink a little weaker
1/41 part vanilla extract
mix over ice strain into martini glass and enjoy.
St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur – wonderful stuff. And a dollop to a glass of champagne, and works surpisingly well with gin.
Canton Ginger – delicious! brandy, ginger liqueur with just a touch of vanilla. Wonderful by itself, wonderful in drinks. Enough real ginger in it so that my mother uses it medicinally, to settle her stomach.
It sounds like she has a sweet tooth when it comes to her after-dinner drinks, so I don’t know that I would recommend things like the fruit liqueurs I’m familiar with:
Kirsch (cherries) Kirsch - Wikipedia
Pear Poire Williams - Wikipedia

1part kahlua (bottom 3rd of a shot glass)
float 1 part baileys on top of that
float 1 part vodka on top of that.
you end up with a 3 layered shot, its an interesting experience drinking those
For a long time my favorite liqueur was Bonny Doon Framboise. The intense raspberry flavor was like distilling everything wonderful about summer into a bottle. Then a few years ago they stopped making it.
I’ve tried making some with my homegrown raspberries and vodka, but it still needs improving.
This thread inspired me to look again, and I found that some former Bonny Doon winemakers are making their own Framboise now at Pacific Rim Winemakers. I will be tracking some down to try it.
