Cocktail Adventures in Topeka, Kansas
Where to find Lady Godiva's nipples

How do you get rid of a whole bottle of Chambord?

"We run a small B&B in Topeka, Kansas, a pretty conservative town," explains Scott Nickel inkeeper and owner at the Brickyard Barn Inn. "We do private dining and though we offer after dinner drinks, the guests rarely accept ."

He had bought a bottle of Chambord as an experiment and it gathered dust for a year, experimental tastes the only thing removed from the bottle. According to Nickel "we didn't like it. It tasted too much like cough medicine." So he decided to use a few other liqueurs to create a mix that might entice someone to try it.

"I poured some Godiva white chocolate liquor into a cordial glass and added a bit of the Chambord. I hoped that the two would be of different densities so that they would remain separated, possibly even showing where the Chambord poured through the Godiva (creating a white circular ring around a small reddish dot when viewed from above; keep this visual in mind). Because the two are close to the same density, the separation idea didn't pan out."

"However, the flavor of the two mixed in equal amounts and stirred was quite good."

What to call it? "Now I had to name my creation. With the visual in mind (white circle with small red dot in center), I thought: 'What does that look like?' And having used Godiva, of course the name became Lady Godiva's Nipples. "

To further the joke Nickel only sells them as a pair.

"Between creation and now (roughly 5 weeks), we only have half a bottle of the Chambord left. Many guests want to try it and every one in the group gets a laugh out of it. Our creation, honest!"
