As the leaves fall and the chill in the air grows sharper, there’s nothing quite like curling up with a drink that warms you from the inside out. Introducing Grandma’s Sweater—a cocktail that’s as comforting as slipping into your favorite knit. This rich, creamy concoction brings together the indulgent flavors of Buttershots, Irish cream, caramel vodka, and almond milk for a perfect balance of sweetness and smoothness.

The Buttershots add a buttery, caramel essence, while the Irish cream brings that familiar, velvety touch. A hint of caramel vodka deepens the flavor, blending seamlessly with the nutty creaminess of almond milk. The result? A drink that feels like a hug in a mug, warming your soul like one of Grandma’s cozy old sweaters.

piña margarita

Don’t “tequila” my vibe! This piña margarita will definitely give you some vibes…it’s the perfect combination of a piña colada with the sweetness of coconut and pineapple paired with a salty and tart margarita!

I usually make two shakers of this drink which results in 4 cocktails, my husband and I both get a glass and a nice chilled refill awaits you when you are done enjoying your first drink. I first had this piña margarita at a restaurant and my husband had ordered another drink of his own…he immediately was jealous after taking a sip out of my glass so I knew I had to try to recreate it at home. The results were an immediate success, and I can’t tell you how quickly we went through a bottle of Malibu rum lol.

The fun thing about this drink is that you could really make a ton of different varieties by replacing an ingredient or two and making it your own. You could replace the Malibu rum with a banana liquor, or replace the pineapple juice with mango juice…hmm, where is my notebook to write these ideas down?!

Take life with a grain of salt and a slice of lime!

spicy blackberry gin sOur

This Spicy Blackberry Gin Sour is refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness and heat!
The jalapeño slices give off a slightly smoky flavor that will heat you up during the cold weather!!

It tastes almost like a spin on a Bramble, which I love, yet has it’s own unique flavor.
And, if you don’t like gin you can switch it up for vodka…
If you don’t have blackberry syrup just throw in a 1/2 ounce of simple syrup and a few more blackberries when muddling the fruit and you will achieve a similar result.

The fun thing about cocktails is that you can really make them your own by switching up some of the ingredients…play around and see what you come up with and share what you create!

pOlar berry latte

on 0 97 Views

This Polar Berry Latte is a luxurious brew of white chocolate, hazelnuts, and blackberries that’s like being wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket! I mean, is there anything better than being snuggled up on the couch in a fluffy blanket with a cup of coffee? Maybe a puppy or two on your lap and a good book???

With just the right amount of blackberries to give it a slightly fruity taste but not enough to overpower all the other flavors and the oat milk pairs perfectly with the white chocolate creating something that is one of the best lattes I’ve ever made…or had!
I can confirm that it was a hit with my husband as he sat there with his mug looking at it with a mad scientist look on his face with whipped cream on his lip lol! Give it a try this winter and see if it doesn’t give you warm-fuzzy feelings! Or make you stare crazily into your cup lol!

A cocktail variation of this may be coming around the corner…we’ve already tried a few different liquor combinations that have been absolutely delicious! What liquor would you like to see in a Polar Berry cocktail combo??

pumpkin patch cOcktail

on 0 79 Views

Forget pumpkin pie, this may be the best way to have pumpkins yet!

A bit of pumpkin butter and some cider mixed in with brandy and orange liquor…the hardest thing about making this drink is trying to limit how many you consume…it’s so dang tasty you might need someone to cut you off!
This is my take on Half Baked Harvest’s Haunted Pumpkin Patch Margarita and I’m in love with it!
I used an apple cider concentrate mixed with water but you can use any apple cider and it would be equally as tasty.

Alternatively, you could make this a mocktail by replacing the brandy with more apple cider and the orange liquor with orange juice.

One last suggestion, with any leftover apple slices I recommend dipping them in the sugar rim that is remaining and having a snack…yummy!
