Whereas most every other kosher product is readily available here, it has become clear to me that liqueurs are in fact hard to come by in metropolitan Boston. Thankfully, a quick e-mail to the Wine Gallery (at the corner of Cypress and Boylston Streets) requesting kosher coffee liqueur brought it to their shelves within a week — in plenty of time for my upcoming “Big Lebowski” party. The Carmel Azmara Coffee Liqueur was $13.99, a few dollars more expensive that what Kosher.com charges — but with shipping and handling, it’s actually more expensive online.

Their everyday selection of kosher spirits is nothing to sneeze at, but if something’s absent, just speak up — they seem enthusiastic to fulfill special requests.
