Advantages: Tasty, strong alcohol content, not too expensive Disadvantages: The weird bottle, leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste
Not long ago I wrote an opinion on a new alcoholic beverage called Tia Lusso which I wildly enjoyed, in the comments section I was told about a similar type of drink called Sheridan’s. So, me being me, I just had to sample this new delight. Here are my findings: ~~~~~~PRODUCT PACKAGING~~~~~~ Hmm? Odd one this, Sheridan’s comes in a double barrelled 500ml glass bottle, what I mean by double barrelled is that the bottle is really two bottles ... ...left hand side is a slim half bottle and on the right hand side is a rather plump half that sort of resembles somebody’s fat arse. In the slim half is some white milky liquid and on the right side is some deep brown (Tar looking) liquid. These two bottles are then supported by a band style black and white label with Sheridan’s original written across it. The same label but this time oval shaped is stuck on the front of the fused bottles. ...

Advantages: Tastes quite nice, Fancy bottle Disadvantages: Expensive, difficult to pour
I have been curios about Sheridan's Coffee based liqueur every time that I have come across its rather odd looking two-tone bottle but I have never been tempted to buy it. My decision never to purchase being based on three facts:
1 - I do not particularly like Coffee flavoured things. Curiously I love a drink of Coffee but I do not like things that are Coffee flavoured like the Coffee Crème Chocolates that you find in a tin of Cadbury's Roses.
... ...liqueurs. If there is alcohol to be had then I am definitely a Beer or Lager man.
3 - The price. At over £12 for a small 50ml bottle in my local off license its a wonder that it has been around for so long.
Now if someone was to buy me a bottle as a gift then that's a completely different story.....
So now that I had managed to acquire myself a bottle of this stuff for free I only had two excuses left to avoid it and curiosity did eventually the ...

Advantages: Looks great, Tastes the biz Disadvantages: You may not like it
...then a wee drop of Sheridans in the bizzo.
***The packaging*** Ordinarily, you wouldn't want to bang on about packaging too much but a bottle of Sheridans is distinctive. The bottle looks like an elaborate brandy tumbler but is, in fact, two separate Bottles stuck together. On one side is a dark liquid being the liqueur, while the other holds a white liquid. Herein lies the rub as the plastic cap at the top with two pierced holes holds the secret ... ...of strange connotations re mixing Sheridans with other drinks but I can't see it myself and would suggest it's a stand alone experience (a bit like the stand alone experience I get if I get too drunk *sigh*)
I would suggest that room is the ideal for a liqueur like this but you will have the option of slipping ice in if you wish. Personally, I'm not sure about this but then it might be a hot day and you may want something a tad more refreshing. ...

Advantages: Tastes divine. Disadvantages: No terrible puns in this one.
I was cruising through the products options the other day and I found this, so I’d like to tell you about one of my favourite drinks. Sheridens coffee liqueur. Despite a rather unusual ad campaign last year, it’s still the Cinderella of Irish coffee liqueurs. Packaging.
Straight off you notice how different this is, with its two-tone lop-sided bottle. It’s actually two separate bottles stuck together. One side holds a dark, almost black liquid, ... ...unusual! The top is a single affair of black plastic, though on removing the cap you will see two spouts, leading from the separate bottles. The label is black and white, the bottom two thirds being black and the top third white, representing the proportions of the poured drink.
Smell.
Together the aroma is of creamy coffee, cold of course. Strong coffee with the promise of alcohol. Separately the white side is vanilla. It’s not strong, but it ...

Advantages: Unusual and tastes nice Disadvantages: Expensive and badly marketed
Anyone know how to make a coffee liqueur? You know, the kind of coffees which have the cream sitting on the top and the coffee underneath (like a pint of Guinness)? No-one? OK let give you a master-class in coffee liqueur making!
Firstly, a little organic chemistry! Fats and carbohydrates don't mix too well. At the first opportunity they can take they will separate (like oil and water) They are called "immiscible liquids". It is this prinicple which ... ...you need to put enough coffee in the glass (has to be a glass otherwise the effect is pointless) to fill it until there is about 2 cm from the top. Then put in the spirit of your choice (more later!), this will take the gap to 1 cm. Now put about 2 spoonfuls of brown sugar (has to be brown!) and give the whole thing a stir. Make sure none of the sugar remains and the whole mixture is homogenised. Now the cream! Take about 50 ml of double cream and ...

(Please ignore the facetious title. It's just that when theediscerning asks people to refund the cost of naff films and cereal bars by this method, it normally works. Anyway, let's see how many of us can help recompense this purchase... Plus, "Ebony and Ivory, side by side on my drinks cabinet" just sounded a bit naff.)
Witness the scene. A sober, unwitting, upstanding chap like theediscerning is in a local supermarket (no advert, but its name is ... ...to him and offers him alcohol. Oh dear.
Trouble doesn't always start with a T, if you get the drift.
With a taster in the shop guzzled down, and a competition entry and £1 voucher in hand, theediscerning has just bought himself a Christmas present. The question is, would it last until Christmas?
For those who don't frequent the booze selection of their high street stores, then let theediscerning elaborate a little on what he is describing here. ...

Advantages: Lovely drink with high alcohol content Disadvantages: Quite expensive, a tad sickly
...of alcoholic delights, I choose Sheridans almost every time! Yep I`ve got to admit it,I see that weird shaped bottle ,filled with bliss inducing liquid , and I`m a sucker for it!
Anyway its obvious that i adore the stuff, but now its time for me to give you the lowdown, because if you haven`t tried it yet then you`re missing out.
Sheridans is supplied in both 500ml and 1L bottles ,and is priced at around £10 for the smallest one ,I`m afraid i don`t ... ...The best way to drink Sheridans is on the rocks (no i don`t mean Blackpool pleasure beach ,although it can be enjoyed anywhere!) No simply fill a glasswith 3-5 ice -cubes and tip your bottle up as instructed ,to a glass held at a slant.If you do it right you shouldn`t end up with a murky brown and grey looking concoction,the drink should be perfectly seperated, white at the top, with a crisp line between the blackey brown colour sitting underneath. ...

Hello, I just want to say that it's my favourite liqueur, there are tones of advantages in it. But I want to ask producers to pay attention on bottle's holes: they are the same, so I think that you should make them different. The hole for white drink should be a little bit smaller, than for black one, because finally we have only black liqueur - it's not so tasty ;) I just want to say that it's my favourite liqueur, there are tones of advantages ... ...attention on bottle's holes: they are the same, so I think that you should make them different.

Advantages: Tasty, warming Disadvantages: Goes too quickly!
...and bought a bottle of Sheridans Coffee Liqueur for a change. It was the bottle that attracted me to it. It basically two bottles stuck together with dark coffee liqueur in one and white in the other. When pouring into a glass it is recommended that you tilt the glass at the same time as tilting the bottle so when they come to settle in the glass the white floats on top of the black, very nifty I thought!
Pour over ice for a cool then warming sensation ... ...Baileys at the beginning) and the smell is amazing, a bit difficult to explain but it smells like it tastes.

THUMBS UP TO SHERIDANS COFFEE LIQUEUR
As I am a coffee lover I consume Sheridans regulary.
I find it is excellent poured on ice and served in a proper Sheridans glass as a great summer cooler
I find It is beautifully smooth and creamy on the palette and an excellent flavour balance of the coffee and vanilla cream.
I have also found it is great with freshly filtered coffee as a winter warmer after a long days work.
I love the half white and brown ...

Advantages: Awesome Taste Disadvantages: availability in US
My last name is Sheridan and I had tasted this liquor at a meeting I was at. Someone had bought some on a cruise they went on & when they learned it was my last name they wanted me to try some. I love coffee and loved the taste. My husband was deployed overseas in the military so I wanted to get him a bottle of this as a surprise "thus the name Sheridan's". I searched online & found it's not available in the US anywhere. I found a place in Portugual ... ...cost. I then found thru connections that they sell it in Canada and I actually ended up being able to get a bottle of it, via of a friend of a friend who brought it back to the US from Canada then shipped to me so I could give to my husband as a gift when he came home on leave. Niether of us are big drinkers but love the taste and it's a great drink to sit & sip on a romantic night. We both love it and would recommend that everyone try to taste it ...
