At home, my wife has an occasional Bartles & Jaymes cooler. When we go out, sometimes she'll order something sweet like a White Russian. Once in a blue moon, she'll get a wild hair and spend a night mixing drinks out of my old Bartender's Guide. The leftover, dusty bottles of creme de cacao, Kahlua and Amaretto haunt the cabinet above our microwave for years afterwards....I have pretty much given up trying to make special drinks for my lady. She is completely content with vodka sodas with limes that any time I try to add something different she doesn't even notice or care.
But I think I found something she'll like: Fox Barrel Pacific Pear Cider. I found a bottle of it on the broken packs shelf of a local liquor store, and heck - even I liked it. It's a little sweet, but not sticky sweet and cloying.
Unfortunately, they only had the one bottle. Guess I'll have to make a run to BevMo next time I'm close...
