Has anyone tasted this stuff? Any good? What do you use it for?
People in Spain drink it with warm(!) milk, mixed or shaken 1:3, especially popular in discotheques, etc.
Mind though, milk in Europe is generally not as "watered down" as in the US.
A "mini-beer" is a Licor 43 cocktail designed to visually imitate a beer. A miniature pint glass is mostly filled with Licor 43 and topped with a chilled dairy-based liquid, such as heavy cream or Irish Cream. The colour of Licor 43 mimics the amber colour of a pale beer, and the dairy product mimics the white colour of a beer's foamy head.
You can do that mini-beer thing also with Amaretto and cream on top, in a shot-glass, quick-warmed in a microwave... delicious! Not only Italians like that.

Some friends had some and we gave it a try. It's really sweet and has sort of a vanilla / citrus taste. We sipped it straight, but I could see using it in a screwdriver. We also talked about making a carajillo, which is something like cubano but with this instead of a lot of the sugar - basically a spiked espresso.
Edit: Google brought up those and similar suggestions, but also this: Ginger Ale, Lime and 43 - I bet that would be fantastic with a nice spicy ginger ale.

Just got home from work. Tomorrow is more than Xmas for me. It's my first full day off from work since Nov 17. Time to sip on some of that fine whiskey.

Yeah, the sandals-and-socks thing makes it seem that it could be outside the US, maybe the Mediterranean region? The label isn't legible but it is an unusual, short-stemmed glass she has on the tray. As far as I recall, ouzo glasses traditionally don't have stems.
I don't think that's from the USA for some reason. I started out thinking it was a bottle of George Dickel, then decided vodka, then settled on it being some sort of ouzo.
Those socks, tho.
