Happy Happy Cocktail Friday everybody!!! Deep down, I think that if I continue to post chilly weather recipes it will make that wonderful weather appear here hehe. Today is obviously another one of those recipes and a happy accident to boot. I really am not a big drinker at all, though (obviously) I am one to partake in adult beverages from time to time, but definitely sparingly…Now, if you were to walk into my pantry, you would totally think I had a problem due to the sheer amount of bottles of liquors and liqueurs in there.
My stockpile of alcohol is totally due to this little blog and always wanting to share new cocktail recipes that need whatever ingredients in it. What I’m saying is, is that I have 4 billion too many bottles of barely used liquor hanging around. That’s where this recipe comes in, I decided this past cheat day that I needed to actually use the many varieties that I already had, and the first one to pop out at me was the Marshmallow Vodka, because yum.
I had some left over hot chocolate packs from my Frozen Hot Chocolate, and I thought maybe these might be a nice combo. This cocktail turned out so decadent y’all, the thick hot chocolate with that little kick of the marshmallow vodka was so perfect. I very much enjoyed sipping on this awesome drink, while sitting in the AC mind you, but maybe it’s cool enough where you’re at to have a cup or two. Have a wonderful day, a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
