Sorry I'm joining this strand a little late...
You have Amarula?! I LOVE that stuff. It's made in South Africa and it's better than Baileys in my opinion. It's sweet and creamy and very smooooooooth but also exotic. Drink it and you'll sleep like a baby and have cool dreams.
I usually drink it straight or with/in coffee.
You could substitute Amarula for Irish Cream in most recipes. I like the African Goddess drink idea.
Keep us posted with what you come up with.

THE MORNING AFTER THE WINTER LUAU UPDATE!
Well, as expected, the Amarula went first... All the drinks were a success, even the Wrath of Pele which I was wary of... I guess you can't go wrong with a tonne of fruit, a tonne of booze, and a bunch of willing guinea pigs... of course by 3 am we were throwing just about anything into the blender to see what happened....
Also served were Presidents Choice Vegetarian Egg Rolls, and I made home made vegetarian coconut shrimp on a stick. Dipping sauces were the old school CHinese Sweet n' Sour and Cherry ones in the jar, bought mostly cause of their old school 'Chinese Restaurant' fonts. I'm sure they'd been sitting on the shelf since 1976.
I also invented a new game - I dont have a name for it, but it goes like this - you grab a phone book and pick a random, common name, like 'Bob' or 'Jeff' or 'Tracy'. Say for example you pick Bob, everyone at the table tells a true and amazing or stupid anecdote about someone they knew named Bob. But here's the catch - if you DON'T know a Bob, you have to make up a story anyway and convince the group your Bob is real. Then everyone votes true or false. A good party game!
I will post a few goofy pics momentarily... or maybe after I get back from a greasy Harvey's lunch!

The hula girl floating candles seem like a good idea, until her head burns off and then it's just weird and disturbing... a headless woman bobbing around plating the ukelele with her neck on fire...
Forget the crouton and lemon extract flaming garnish thing - I just copied the tiki tiki japan drink garnish and added cheap dollar store sparklers! Probably the aluminum sparks that fell in my Mai Tai will now give me alzheimer's...

I can't believe you guys get Amarula out there! I am currently working on some packaging designs for the company that makes it.

Well of course you could never publish them, because it's all copyrighted images. That's the joy of making posters for your own home, you dont have to pay for fonts and you dont have to pay for pics!
please feel free to use them for your own parties - but using them for commercial use is strictly verboten!
