I so want one of these for making jello in… yeah jello. It’s an ice tray that is shaped like the
aliens in the Space Invaders game. Though I could not resist having the Mooninites going through my head while playing… using these shaped Ice.

Oy, ick, (sigh). Now, I admit that I may not have found the niche for this liqueur, but honestly, I am not sure what that niche would be.
I was asked to try this spirit because my favorite bar is thinking of using this instead of Kalhua, and I am going to beg them not to make the switch.
Patrón XO Café is not a sweet coffee liqueur. The tequila mixed with essence of coffee spirit has a few problems with taste. Alone, it tastes like muddy tequila with bitter aftertaste, which I assume is from the coffee. In the mixed drinks I tried, I found that it offered only a the weakest coffee flavor and even worse, quickly settled out leaving a nasty dark sludge at the bottom of the drink.
I love coffee, and I am not the biggest fan of tequila, and that might be biasing my review, but I am not a fan of Patrón XO Café. I will finish the bottle, remembering to keep a stir in my drink, and seeing if there are any good uses for the weak coffee taste of this liqueur.
I am sure their might be a use for this spirit, which on the spectrum of coffee liqueurs would be watery coffee to Kalhua’s strong coffee to Starbucks Espresso. If you have a drink where the coffee flavor is too strong, this might make a good substitute. I will experiment with the spirit, but I am not sure how to use it.

To celebrate our 100th episode, we spent the weekend perfecting a cocktail to celebrate:
3/8 oz Brandy
3/8 oz Dark Rum
3/4 oz Frangelico
Apple Juice
Twist of Lemon
Shake with ice until frosty, and serve in a chilled rocks glass. Yummy.

I am not sure that these would be the best quality wines, but I have to say that I kind of want them for the bottles. In the great tradition of putting your name and image on anything that you can, Kiss Online announced the opening of preorders on three kiss wines:
The new KISS Etched Bottle Editions available are:
KISS THIS Destroyer 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Collectible Etched Wine
KISS THIS Faces 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Collectible Etched Wine
KISSology 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Collectible Etched Wine (KISSONLINE)
I wish they were something other than cabs, perhaps a nice pinot grigio or riesling. The bottles do look really good. I love that classic Kiss look.
