I like variety, and this is really evident by the contents of my liquor cabinet. It would take me a long time to drink all these, but fortunately they keep well. Here's what I've managed to collect over the years.

• Absinthe - infused with wormwood, anise, hyssop, and other herbs, very strong, should be diluted with water until it clouds (the "louche")
  • Lucid
  • Pernod
  • St George
  • Taboo
• Disaronno Amaretto - infused with bitter almond and sweetened, nice on its own or in a mixer
• Amarula - a cream liquor made from amarula fruit

  • Hendrick's - a somewhat complex and mature flavour
  • Hayman's Sloe Gin - gin infused with sloe berries and sweetened
• Goldschläger - cinnamon schnapps with gold leaf
• Ice Wines - fruit wines made from cryoconcentrated juice to leave residual sweetness after it reaches wine strength, good as a dégestif

• Ouzo - infused with anise and sweetened, clouds when served with ice
• Pommeau - a mixture of apple brandy and apple cider, like an "apple port", sweet and tart
