Creamy Orange

Sherry from the source in Spain is always special. This drink is counter to the Creamsicle drink with orange juice and half-and-half and some vanilla liqueur. Instead there's a hint of brandy and one ounce of cream sherry, known for its high sugar and soft thick mouthfeel.

Creamy Orange makes for a good dessert drink, like a milk chocolate orange bar. There are hints of chocolate and the juice factor is actually low. It's also low in alcohol, so a nice light dessert indeed.

• 1 oz. cream sherry (Lustau East India Solera used)
• 1/2 oz. brandy (Hennessy used)
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1/2 oz. half-and-half

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. 

Bosom Caresser

A nice bosomy wine glass is perfect for this rich egg, Madiera and brandy cocktail. The impression you get from a sip of the Bosom Caresser is a warm and silky drink with lots of candied grape and orange flavors. This is definitely a dessert drink. Use brandy or cognac, but don't skip out on the Madiera, it adds the needed wine component.

• 2 oz. brandy (Hennessy used)
• 1 oz. Madiera
• 1 oz. triple sec (Vitae orange liqueur used)
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp. grenadine

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a red wine glass.
