On The Rocks Gift Set750 Ml

This On The Rocks gift set is a 750 ml liqueur-category offering from Massachusetts, United States. The listing doesn't name the flavor, the proof or the contents of the set, so check the label or box for those before you plan around them. Liqueurs in this category are usually sweetened, flavored spirits. Expect a noticeably sweeter, rounder profile than a straight spirit, with a lower alcohol level than most whiskeys or vodkas. A liqueur like this works in three ways. It can be sipped on its own after a meal, or it can go into a cocktail as a sweetener and flavoring in place of simple syrup. Poured over ice, it is the simplest option. A short pour in a rocks glass lets the ice dilute it a little and takes the edge off the sweetness. Chilling the bottle in the refrigerator first gives a similar result and suits fruit, cream and coffee styles especially well. For longer drinks, a 1 to 2 ounce pour topped with soda water or tonic over ice makes a light highball. A splash of citrus juice or a squeeze of lemon or lime keeps the sweetness in check. If the flavor turns out to be fruit or citrus, it can replace triple sec or a fruit syrup in a sour. A coffee or cream style would suit an espresso martini or a White Russian-type drink instead. Because it is packaged as a gift set, it may include glassware or other accessories. Check the box contents before you buy.
