An Evening with Coffee and Panama Jack's Liqueur

Last night a neighbor dropped by for a visit and coffee. The conversation was pleasant and the coffee quite good -- thanks to some espresso coffee called Forza and a wine-based liqueur known as Panama Jack's.

Though I don't have an espresso machine, I made coffee using the espresso coffee anyway. According to my brother's partner, Julia, it is quite acceptable to use espresso coffee in this manner. One need only use a little less coffee in the brewer than usual, as the coffee is more finely ground than is usually the case.

Although the liqueur Panama Jack's is in fact made with wine rather than whiskey, it tastes quite similar to Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur, and goes together with coffee equally well. Indeed, the combination of Panama Jack's and the espresso coffee made for a remarkable taste experience.

And in case you were wondering, Panama Jack's is also quite economical in price, retailing for about $16.95 Cdn. for a 750 ml. bottle.
