Alcohol round-up

Stuff we've been drinking. First up, Ventura Co. Limoncello. It's actually from Ventura County, California, so it's much closer than say, the Limoncello you could buy that was made in Italy. Also, this was one of the only limoncellos at our favorite liquor store that did not have added coloring. That yellow is all-natural:

It's quite tart and good with a little mineral water. It fully satisfied my longing to try a limoncello.

Up next is a British beer, Red Speckled Hen. I tried it after trying an Alaskan beer and I've got to say I liked the Alaskan beer better. Red Speckled Hen is British, like Fuller's, but it ain't no Fuller's. (Yes, I realize it's cheaper, but I think I'll stick to quality.)
 And last up we have Honeymoon Nectar, Sweet Honeywine (opposed to their spiced one).
This one is actually also spiced, but lightly so, and very sweet. Also, it doesn't say the alcohol content, but I suspect it's fairly high. At least, that's what my body is telling me.

Hubby was gifted with a bottle each of Ardbeg and Laphroig a couple of weeks ago but I didn't take pictures on account that they're Scotches he's already tried.
