Simple To Fix Mixed Drink Recipes To Use For The Holiday Festivities
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.
The Dirty Snowball: An easy drink to make with 3 parts cream, 2 parts Irish Liqueur and 1 part peppermint schnapps. Pour ice into an old fashioned glass and then pour in the ingredients. Add the creme last on top of the rest. You can add a fun swizzle stick or candy cane for an added touch. Sometimes you can find straws that look like candy canes which are very festive.
Candy Cane Wonderland: In a blender add one ounce Cream de Cocoa, one ounce peppermint schnapps and one ounce half and half. Blend it all together with half a cup vanilla ice cream and one quarter cup ice. When it is smooth it is ready to go. Pour grenadine in a tall glass and swirl it around and put the frozen mixture into the glass. Top with whipped cream and a peppermint stick.
Cool Yule Martini: Take three ounces of vodka, a half ounce of dry vermouth and one ounce of peppermint white liqueur. Shake the ingredients together and pour into a chilled martini glass. Top with a garnish of candy cane and a peppermint leaf.
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.
