One girlie threw a curve ball saying she could smell and taste butterscotch. I tried again – and you know, I did too.I wrapped all 14 bottles in tin foil and then popped a number on them – don’t worry, by the time it got round to the blind-tasting I’d forgotten which was which. A cheeky chum sneaked in a couple of extra tastes of this (no hiding place when I’m there) and said “I really like this one – it has a very chocolatey flavour”.

It was powerful on the alcohol, but not as much as a Baileys by comparison. One chum said “this is creamy but not too strong” and another … “very smooth to taste”. For a girlish twist on the Mexican classic spirit, we can't help but fall for this strawberry infused tequila cream liqueur. The unintrusive under-notes of tangy agave you'd expect from a good tequila are gorgeous over ice on a scorching hot day. Plus, It has a dreamy mouthfeel and a summery fragrance of sweet strawberries that's just de-lish!Whisky has a highly astringent taste with nary a hint of sweetness.

The modern style of the bottle and the red strip label signal the premium nature of this brand.

As always, it's important to drink sensibly and watch the quantity of alcohol you're consuming. Cream liqueurs tend to be rather strong, and if you're drinking it over ice quantities can be difficult to monitor. Add to that the creamy texture and sweetness, and it can be easy to drink more than you planned.

For a tropical vibe consider coconut, and for a more summery taste, opt for a strawberries and cream liqueur! (Boozy Wimbledon watching anyone?) Another described “marzipan” and one of the sisters considered, then declared it had a toasted coconut macaroon flavour and was “nice and different”.
