Coole Swan

MicroBarBox - Chocoholic's Chocolate Cocktail Box

It might only be Wednesday, but that doesn’t stop us dreaming of Friday at The Amazing Blog! We were thrilled to discover British company, MicroBarBox, as their novel cocktail boxes allowed us to indulge in a cocktail (or two) from the comfort of our own homes. The concept of a ‘bar in a box’ is a great one, the liqueurs and spirits you need to create delicious after dinner drinks are delivered straight to your door, and with several different versions, you can choose your box dependant on whether you’re a gin, vodka, whisky, or prosecco lover.

We decided to give the Chocoholic’s Chocolate Cocktail Box a whirl. This decadent delight contains a plethora of alcoholic and chocolatey treats, including Coole Swan White Chocolate Liqueur, Kendal Mint Cake Liqueur, Sweet Potato Chocolate Moonshine with Chilli, Bramley and Gage Cherry Brandy, Baileys Orange Truffle Irish Cream Liqueur and Wild Chocolate Vodka - all of which come in 50ml measures. In addition to that, you get 35g of Fudge Kitchen Classic Chocolate, as well as 40g Divine White Chocolate. What more could you ask for? They have created our liquid ‘chocolate heaven’! Although completely acceptable as a way to treat yourself, this box would also make a perfect Christmas present for your loved ones. The boxes are elegant, encasing the chocolatey goodies in black packaging, with pink and white lettering. If you have the willpower to save these treats, then they will also be great additions to your beverage collection.

These can either be mixed in your own experimental way, or you can follow the cocktail serving suggestions to create some fabulous chocolate cocktails. Our favourite was definitely the Winter Wonderland cocktail, which contains the Coole Swan White Chocolate Liqueur mixed with 1/3 of Kendal Mint Cake Liqueur. Perfect for a cosy catch up on wintery days! Everything you need is combined in the box, just add some ice for a refreshing bonus. For £35 you can order the Chocoholic’s Chocolate Cocktail box here or browse the selection of other boxes here. NB: the box contents are regularly updated so your contents may be different (although equally delicious!)

In order to always keep your selection updated, you can even become a Cocktail Club member, and get your monthly Cocktail box delivered straight to your door. The lovely MicroBarBoxTeam have also created a discount code for you, our readers, which you can use when purchasing their Chocoholic’s Chocolate Cocktail Box. Simply use the code “AMAZING10” when placing your order. Enjoy!

Irish Cream Liqueur - Coole Swan

The holiday season may be over but here at the Amazing Blog we are carrying on the festivities with a few glasses of Coole Swan. It is a unique cream liqueur that blends Irish Single Malt Whiskey, Fresh Irish Cream and White Belgian Chocolate. This is a very special combination indeed and certainly not just your run-of-the-mill whisky and cream liqueur. The result is a luxuriously smooth and original taste that frankly we cannot get enough of.


Coming from a long line of farmers, the founders of Coole Swan set out to create the finest tasting liqueur using fresh cream produced on their own farm at Tatestown, County Meath. The brand pride themselves on gathering the highest quality ingredients from the most trusted of sources. Coole Swan draws a line between traditional Irish drinks and a modern twist - producing a flavour that is silky, smooth and delicious.

We highly recommend visiting their website to try out some of the suggested recipes that they have created. We made the dessert Coole Swan Tiramisu and a few of the cocktails like the Perfect White Russian and minty The Green Avenue both guaranteed to get the party started!


We loved the elegant and beautiful trademark packaging that comes with the product, and it would make a fantastic gift or party staple. Served best in a frosted glass of ice, you will love the experience of Coole Swan's rich scent and nutty tones, enhanced by the triple distilled Irish Malt Whiskey.


 Coole Swan is just too good to be missed - buy it here from £6.73 to £29.00.
