It is usually served as a digestive after a meal, but may also be enjoyed with coffee and espresso, or mixed into coffee and espresso drinks. It can also be enjoyed neat at room temperature or on the rocks (with ice).

Drunken Humor

A man is driving home, when he is pulled over by a traffic policeman for a damaged headlight.
The cop looks into the guys' car and sees a collection of knives in the backseat.
"Sir," the cop says. "Why do you have all those knives?"
"They're for my juggling act," the man says.
"I don't believe you," says the cop.
"Prove it."
So the man gets out of his car and begins juggling the knives.
At the same time, a car with two guys in it drives by.
"Man," says the first guy. "I'm glad I quit drinking. These new sobriety tests are hard."

Honeymoon

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
