The Afterparty Dregs is a decadent and indulgent cocktail that blends a variety of rich and flavorful liqueurs. At its core, this drink combines the creamy texture of Irish Cream Liqueur with the chocolatey notes of Potters Creme de Cacao. The addition of Goslings Black Seal Rum and Occumare Rum brings a robust depth, offering a delightful contrast between the dark and gold rum varieties. The Phillips' Butterscotch Liqueur and Coffee Liqueur add layers of sweetness and complexity, resulting in a drink that is both smooth and luscious. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a dessert-like beverage with a kick.

Despite its luxurious nature, the Afterparty Dregs is a testament to the art of blending diverse flavors to achieve a harmonious and memorable cocktail experience.
