Just Plain Delish…

Most people I meet think being an editor is a super-glam job–and maybe it is if you’re Anna Wintour. Truth is, I love my job, but like any job, it has perks–like peeking inside of other people’s beautiful homes and getting to attend some of the most fabulous events in Colorado–and drawbacks–like meticulously checking every piece of punctuation in 45-50 pages of editorial content eight times a year.

But one of the little perks that is just plain fun is getting samples of new products. Samples of wallpaper and fabrics, pre-release books, gourmet treats, pillows (lots and lots of pillows)–they end up on my desk with some frequency. (I also get very strange product samples, like a tiny rubber replica of the Statue of Liberty that arrived about six months ago. Not sure what that was all about…)

Not too long ago, I got a real treat: a little sample of Coole Swan Premium Cream Liqueur. It. Is. Fabulous. Created from all-natural ingredients (no synthetic flavors or colors), it is made from fresh double cream from Irish dairy lands and single-malt Irish whiskey.

Here’s the kicker: Dark, bittersweet chocolate is melted into the cream and complemented by Madagascan bourbon vanilla. Brilliant.

You can find Coole Swan at your favorite local liquor store. It’s relatively new to the Colorado market, so if you like Irish cream, give yourself a treat and go buy a bottle.

And as for the question about whether my job is super-glam…well, on days when goodies like Coole Swan show up, I guess it is.
