Loved this one, Jim! Brought back sweet memories. My dad is the only person I've ever known to actually make this layered drink. He'd gently float Grenadine, Creme de Menthe, Creme de Cocoa and brandy ... and serve it in tiny little cordial glasses. They were beautiful to look at ... all those gorgeous jewel colors with candle light sparkling off the glassware ... I was just a little girl and he and my mother would have elaborate dinner parties ... Oh, those were the days!
Aperitif & digestif as rivals. Interesting metaphor. I never heard of pousse-cafe' served hot. And an aperitif generally stimulates rather than mutes the senses. The paradoxes seem to be associated with the rapture. You never fail to stimulate the imagination, Jim.

Peace
Thank you, Rebecca.
Thank you, Nora.
Yah. Hot stuff, Elaine! Thank you.
Thank you, Renee.
They sound grand, Marianne!
Rival, indeed, John. The power of a romance full bore. Not even the fire of the heated aperitif can match it. Or as Elaine said, "Whoa!"
My pleasure, Elizabeth. Thank you.
Thank you Geeta Buzzy!
Hey Vic; how's that for coffee on steroids!
I'm glad, Cindy. You make me smile.
