Now, that you are armed with these super quick and easy recipes. I had one more surprise up my sleve.
Christmas Cocktail gifts for your co-workers and friends.
A couple years ago I was struggling to find a cute but reasonably priced gift for my 12 + co-workers. Then one day we were talking about how cold it was out side and what our favorite cold day drink was. Instant lightbulb!!! A “Hot Cocoa Ornament”!
Quick and Easy… Fill craft ornaments with hot cocoa and miniature marshmallows, add a miniature liqueur, and finish with a cute bow or tag!!
I hope these recipes and ideas help this holiday season sparkle a little more!!
Those are some delicious cocktails, I would make them all the time. Saving your recipe.
