When I stumbled across a bottle of Amarula Fruit Cream in the store, it was in a small section along with other specialty drink mixes. At first, I paid no attention to it. However, when looking over various mudslide and margarita mixes, I was drawn to the bottle again.

What interested me is the label, which reads "This natural fruit cream is produced from fresh cream and the unique fruit of the Marula tree." Now, I always enjoy trying new and exotic things, especially fruit. And who can deny that cream is good in ANYthing?

I did some more research recently, and found some interesting articles on the Marula fruit tree. In fact, once the fruit has dropped and ferments on the ground, elephants have been known to eat that fruit and get completely plastered. The Marula fruit was, at one time, a main food source for some African tribes.

In my area (the Tampa Bay area, FL), a bottle goes for about $20. Being as it wasn't prohibitively expensive, I decided to try it.

The drink closely resembles the flavors of a White Russian or possibly a bit like a Mudslide, to be completely frank. It's a little too strong for my taste, but overall it's pleasant. This is a drink that only the brave gulp down, and the rest of us sip slowly. I've heard it said that it has a slight vanilla/chocolatey flavor and I'd say that's a fair assessment.

I believe it's worth a try, just to say you've tried something unique. And, who knows, if you're a fan of White Russians, this may replace your favorite drink!
