Mozart Rose Gold milk chocolate liqueur drink

Mozart Rose Gold is described as "the luxuriously creamy Austrian milk chocolate liqueur created using the finest Belgian chocolate, kirsch and fresh cream blended with Madagascan vanilla and cocoa. A delicious treat that can add a naughty side to desserts."
I bought a bottle of this at Budapest airport on my way back to the UK in October 2015 (having tried the gold label and white label versions previously) and it is decandently delicious on its' own as an after dinner slow short drink to sip on.  I've only ever seen this brand on sale at Continental European airports in the duty free shops but have now also seen some available at Harrods in London for around the £18 mark and also online for around the £14 mark for a 700ml bottle.  For some reason the Rose Gold version sells online for £26 but I don't remember paying that much at Budapest airport!!
The label on my bottle says further info can be obtained from the Mozart Distillerie website at

Harrods Signature blend coffee


This is the last of four Harrods coffee that I've tried - coming in similar tins to the hot chocolate range but a slightly larger 250g metallic tin.  It's a medium roast 100% pure arabica coffee from Ethopia and El Salvador.  It has a very smooth taste and not the blatantly strong and bitter "coffee caffeine" taste that you can get with regular supermarket brands.  I'd describe this as a "light" coffee and rate it a close second to the Founders Choice coffee.  It's priced at £12.95 a tin and available by mail order from the Harrods website here Signature blend coffee

Monbana Christmas hot chocolate powder, gingerbread flavour

This is a very pleasant hot chocolate drink - it's gingerbread "flavoured" but it's not an over-the-top strong flavour.  Quite subtle but you can tell that it's there..... starts warming the mouth up nicely!  Goes very well with ginger biscuits too....!!  Made with one heaped teaspoon is good, two is better.  Wouldn't want more than that though.
This was given to me as a present so I've no idea where to buy it or how much it costs.... but I would not say no to another tin!
