I just read one of the posts further down the page about not wanting to buy big bottles of liqueur for the recipe. I am the same way I never use a big bottle and it just sits and sits and sits but I found that at liquor stores you can often find the tiny bottles that you so often see in mini bars in hotels near the counter! They are the perfect size (and price!!) for when you need to add something to a recipe you wouldn't normally keep in the house.
Katie, that's what I do when I just want a tiny bit of a liqueur. They're called "nips" in New England - not sure about the rest of the country. But they always seem to be right there at the checkout counter at the liquor store, and they have more and more kinds all the time. Worth checking out when all you need is a "nip." :) PJHAnd, it's a great way to try new flavors. My mom used to put them in our stockings, when we were older, of course! ~ MaryJane
