Like
mixing a bit of schnapps with your peppermint? How about an extra shot of cheer
in your dessert coffee? After pursuing many recipes, here are five totally,
yummy-sounding, naughty drinks.
5) Hot
Buttered Rye
– First impression of this drink, I have to admit, reminds me of an adult
version of Harry Potter’s Butterbeer. This
whiskey cocktail gets topped off with a maple-cream, via Southern
Living.
4)
Gingerbread Apple Cocktail – Never heard of Domaine de Canton, a
ginger liqueur, until discovering this seasonal surprise. One of my favorite
items about winter is gingerbread. Add in vanilla vodka crisp apple cider and
enjoy!
3) Dreaming of
Zen –
Stressed out after a busy year? Unwind with a Zen nightcap. No idea they made a
Zen
Green Tea Liqueur until I came across this stunning recipe. Plus, it’s
green.
2) Candy Cane
Cocktail
– vanilla rum, white chocolate liqueur and peppermint schnapps. How could you
go wrong with this Sandra
Lee creation?
1) Champagne
with Raspberries
– It’s a classic for a reason: simple and elegant. Watch out, though, the
bubbly tends to bubble a bit more with the added fruit. Bonus: chocolate-dipped
strawberries on the side.
Thanks
for pulling up to the holiday bar with me. However you celebrate, may it be
joyous and full of love.
A Dance with
Death
1Night Stand
She’s a classic…
After recovering from an injury and uncertain of her
future in the world of dance, ballerina Isabella treats herself to a dating
service–some frolicking between the sheets before she decides what to do with
the rest of her life is just the jeté her heart and mind needs.
He’s a bit more modern…
A successful music video choreographer, Raul is
constantly surrounded by gorgeous dancers. But his life lacks a vitality and
depth he needs to fuel his creative passion. He turns to a 1Night Stand to
discover inspiration.
A dance between life and death…
When an
accident threatens to cancel the evening of romance, Isabella and Raul will
have to dance to a new beat. Can a dance with death change fate?
Bottoms
up, and enjoy!

Ooh those all sound so yummy! Going to have to try these. I already have this book! It's HOT....just like these drinks. But my favorite drink seriously....one of my faves is just a Tom Collins ( gin, lemon juice, club soda, and sugar. Made right it tastes just like a delicious lemonade. A drink I'd like to try is a Pear-Basil Slipper. (combination of muddled fresh basil and sweet pear-flavored vodka and nectar ).
ReplyDeleteOh my! That Pear-Basil Slipper ... sounds pretty delish!
DeleteWow! May have to pin a few of those!
