A dark chocolate candy filled with brandy, in the shape of a bean. I'm not much of a hard liquor person otherwise, but the amount is small and mixed with good chocolate, so I do like them.
They also come in the shape of bottles (either brandy or other liquors). Or fruits, which I sometimes hang on the Christmas tree. My favorites, though, are brandy cherries - cherries soaked in brandy then covered in dark chocolate.
Okay, so the whole mixing alcohol thing is a myth?
Well, some sites did think some people might get an upset stomach/ indigestion by having different types of drinks at the same time. Like eating different foods that don't mix well.
But it does make sense. Alcohol is alcohol and seems likely to be absorbed and metabolized the same, whether it comes from beer or wine or hard liquor (except, of course, that some drinks have more concentrated alcohol content than others).
