Goodnight Kiss

Goodnight Kiss

If you are looking for something creamy and smooth to carry you off to dreamland, consider indulging in a Goodnight Kiss.  This is a wonderful dessert coffee.  After all, they say Amaretto di Amore' "embodies the essence of romance."  With the right combination, the flavor isn't too sweet, but it is heavenly.  On one of these cool evenings, I encourage you to surprise your sweet one with a Goodnight Kiss.

Use one of your most comforting coffee mugs (for me, this is the biggest one I can find).  In it, combine Coffee liqueur, Irish Cream, Creme de Cacao and Amaretto.  Fill the rest of the mug with coffee leaving room at the top.  Dollop with whipped cream and top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a chocolate covered coffee bean.  Serve and savor the moment.
