Happy Cocktail Friday everybody!!!  I gotta say, we may not have gotten as much snow as they had predicted last weekend, but as I mentioned Monday it was still so enjoyable to watch it fall.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

It did however get downright super cold with the wind absolutely howling, sooo what better way to warm up than with a delightful cocktail such as this one.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This drink has more than a few awesome things going for it, first, lots of lovely vanilla in it, second, Brandy and third it’s served warm, hence my desire to have one on my freezing cold<\/del> cheat day. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I really loved this drink, creamy from the milk, lots of flavor from the spices and a personal favorite, Brandy–talk about warm you up!  Anyways, have a wonderful and hopefully warmer weekend than the last one y’all, and if you’re still covered up in snow where you’re at I have provided you with the perfect drink \ud83d\ude09     <\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything into your pan on low\/medium heat…<\/p>\n

nice and cooked down and with the added vanilla, Brandy and Bailey’s…<\/p>\n

and enjoy!<\/p>\n
