It\’s the time of year to make everything sweeter including drinks. Here is some fun and easy to make mixed drink recipes that you can enjoy with friends and loved ones throughout the season. All of them can also be made non alcoholic if you choose.
Bad Boy (or Girl) Dirty Snowball: Can be made with cream, Irish liqueur and peppermint schnapps. Pour ice into the glass. A fun glass makes the drink more fun. Add 2 parts liqueur and 1 part schnapps over the ice. Then add three parts cr?me over. It is quick and easy to make and top off with a fun straw to jazz it up.
The Candy Cane: This is a knock off but delicious. Take 1 ounce of Cream de Cocoa, 1 ounce of peppermint schnapps and 1 ounce of half and half, half a cup of vanilla ice cream and one quarter cup of ice. Blend these ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Now in a small parfait glass and drizzle grenadine around the glass. Add the blended mixture quickly and top off with whipped creme and a peppermint stick.
The Cool Yule Martini: Use 3 ounces of vodka, half an ounce of dry vermouth and one ounce of peppermint liqueur. Shake or stir and pour into a martini glass. It is best if you chill the glass first. Garnish with a leaf of peppermint or crushed candy canes.
The Old Fashioned Tom and Jerry: A classic rum drink enjoyed by many is a batter made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. It\’s great to have on hand for a party or people just stopping by. To make the batter you will need six eggs that you separate and beat separately. In the bowl with the stiff egg whites you add one and three quarter cups of sugar gradually and salt to taste with one teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Then you take one cup of powdered milk and slowly stir it in the mix. The cover and store.
When you use the mix you add one to two tablespoons to a mug and fill to three quarters full with hot water. Add rum to taste of any type you like. Usually one ounce will do, and top it off with nutmeg as a tasty garnish. It\’s a great drink on a cold day.
Your holidays can be more festive with some creative drinks. Plan ahead and have the ingredients on hand for last minute get togethers and celebrations. Always drink responsibly and have a wonderful holiday season.
As we gather around with friends and loved ones to celebrate there will be some parties going on. If you are hosting a party this holiday season you may be looking for some great mixed drink recipes including Caribou Lou Recipe to share with your guests.
