Although most might agree that he's fine eye-candy, I'm sick of the amaretto, uh, I mean Disaronno guy and his 'recipes' for cocktails.

Disaronno and Lemon: pour some Disaronno over ice and squeeze in some lemon juice.
Disaronno and Milk: pour some Disaronno over ice and add some milk.
Disaronno and Cranberry: pour some Disaronno over ice and add some cranberry juice.
Disaronno and Ginger Ale: pour some Disaronno over ice and add some ginger ale.
And so on ...

Thank goodness he's there to explain these complicated cocktail concoctions. Those of us who haven't had the benefit of years of bartender training would never figure it out for ourselves.

And don't forget "Disaronno on the rocks" just add lemon, cranberry juice, seltzer, taco seasoning..."

Dude, "on the rocks" means liquor of choice on ice. That's it.

I CAN'T be the only one who thinks Disaronno and milk sounds gross, can I?

ETA: Maybe I should check out the Semi-Homemade thread to see if it pops up over there...

You aren't. I think it sounds gross also. Blech.

Heh, I keep expecting Sandra Lee to turn up in an ad for whatever liquor company she represents in print (or like my son suggested, start shilling her own brand of vodka.) But milky amaretto? Narsty. And the 'recipe' ads are insulting and a waste of time for the company. The ads they used to run (such as the one with the chick sucking on the DiSaronno-drenched ice cube) had to be more effective. At least they showed that you don't need to mask the DiSaronno taste with another beverage to make it drinkable.

That commercial bugged me. Instead of thinking that DiSaronno must taste good, I would always think that the woman had a drinking problem. Seriously, if you have to suck the alcohol off the ice-cube, it's time to get some help.

We're in a recession, man. Gotta make every drop count.

Milk and alcohol of any kind makes me want to vomit. I remember the first time I tried a White Russian(I'm a Big Lebowski fan) and my stomach practically went into convulsions.

DiSaronno's douchebag bartender doesn't make me want to try their product at all. And this is even ignoring the fact that you seem to have to mix DiSaronno with something just to make it acceptable.

I too hate the Disaronno commercials, especially the one mixing it with milk. I can't help but picture the milk coagulating and the thought of drinking a chunky, light brown liquid makes me gag.

The first time my husband and I saw the 'on the rocks' commercial, my husband (who works in a bar) made the remark that he hates when commercials reveal trade secrets, which made me snort. I mean, who doesn't know what on the rocks means?
