ALIZE COCKTAILS REVIEW

If you're like me and don't like the taste of alcohol, but would love to have that warm tingly and light feeling associated with it, then Alize is your drink! It's a flavored brandy with about 16% alcohol and comes in two delicious flavors - Passion Fruit and the Red Passion, both tantalizing the taste buds. The liquer can either be mixed with something else or drunken on it's on. Usually I like to mix it with something else.

Toss the bag of candy aside, Halloween is no longer just for kids! Whether out to trick or treat, Alize Liqueur has a variety of scary cocktails perfect for your gruesome festivities. These vodka-based concoctions will definitely make those scary stories more frightening and your costume parties more fun. From Devil's Punch to the Mad Scientist Sangria, Alize offers a drink fit to be enjoyed by every ghoul and ghost. Muah ha ha!!!
