Christmas Dessert Cocktail

Not sure if you’re like me, but I’d rather skip the cake, and drink my calories. 😉 I love a good night cap, and these 2 boozy adult chocolate milk recipes will give a satisfying dessert fix. Be careful, it has a lot of alcohol, so limit Grandma to one cocktail! LOL!

Kristmas Kahlua Martini

• 1.5 ounces of Baileys
• 1.5 ounces of Vodka
• 1.5 ounces of Kahlua
• 2 ounces of half & half ( you can sub whole milk)
• 2 ounces of Cream de Cacao

In a cocktail shaker, add ice and all the ingredients. Shake until combined and cold. Using the cocktail shaker strainer, pour into a martini glass and serve. ENJOY!

Boozy Chocolate Milkshake

• 2 oz Kahlua
• 4 oz Baileys
• 6 oz Whole Milk or Half & Half
• .5 to 1 oz of Chocolate Syrup
• 3 cups of Ice
• Whipped Cream-optional
• Candy Canes-optional

In a blender, combine ice and all ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour in a martini glass and top with whipped cream and crushed up candy cane. ENJOY!

Holiday garnish ideas

To make them sweeter, drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass before you pour the drink.

Take peppermint sticks and crush them up with a mallet. These are softer than traditional candy canes and are easier to crush. They also dissolve faster. Then use the pieces to sprinkle on top of the whipped cream.

Crush the peppermint sticks super fine, and you can use them to line the rim of the glass. Put the peppermint pieces on a plate. Put marshmallow cream on the rim of the glass. Roll the rim on the plate until it is covered with peppermint pieces.

The sticks pictured above are white chocolate covered pretzel sticks. I found them at Target. They are a fun, sweet and salty addition.

I hope you enjoy! CHEERS!

XOXO,
