These sweet liqueurs often add the perfect touch at the end of a special dinner. Sip, and enjoy.

Amaretto: Truly a great American favorite, this sweet almond-flavored liqueur from Italy is ideal for adding to soufflés and chocolate sauces. It’s also lovely as an after-dinner drink with little baskets of ripe berries.

Benedictine: This glorious liqueur from a monastery in Normandy is made from a Cognac base, like Grand Marnier. It is probably best known and most often served mixed with brandy for the classic B & B.
