He held his liquor well, which for him, usually meant, " in the bottle " -- Love, n My boss gave me a 3/4 full bottle of cream de cocoa several years ago. Because he knew they would never use it up, they had bought it for a christmas party one year. For 2 or 3 years every time I made a recipe that called for vanilla in it , I would use the same amount of cream de cocoa instead. Now I finally used the bottle all up. I have a bottle of imitation vanilla and I am seriously thinking about going to the liquor store and buying another bottle of cream de cocoa, I like the flavor it gives so much better.
