// Cocktail Hour: Christmas Cookie

Another holiday drink for you to whip up this season! I've been doing a lot of cocktail recipes for LuLu*s over the past few months and it's been such a treat to share these creations with others. If you can overlook the fact that my last few drinks look a lot alike, you'll be amazed at the variety of tastes and flavors they entail! For instance this drink is comprised of ice cream, alcohol, and a sprinkle of hard candy! (If peppermint isn't your thing, you're in luck! It's so easy to substitute in butterscotch hard candies and schnapps.) Pop over to the LuLu*s blog to get the full run down and the recipe! Mike was a huge fan of this one (but he always is... haha)

Let me know if you end up making it yourself! Enjoy!

// Pumpkin Spice Hot Toddy Cocktail (+ Mocktail!)

Okay, real talk time! I've never been into pumpkin flavored anything. Truth be told, the thought of eating pumpkin and pumpkin flavored stuff sort of grosses me out. I don't get hyped up about September 1st, and the only PSL I ever buy is for Mike... but I made a pumpkin spice hot toddy for the Autumn season and maybe, just maybe, I can understand why people get so worked up about it.

Don't get me wrong... I probably won't be chowing down on pumpkin pie anytime soon, and I won't be ordering a PSL for myself (Sorry, Caramel Apple Spice has my Autumn-loving heart!), but I can certainly get down with some pumpkin spice syrup and some whiskey! If that sounds like your jam, you'll be into this drink, I promise!

I created this drink for LuLu*s (remember my Hot Summer cocktails for them a few months ago?) and just like the last time, there's an alcohol version and a mocktail version. That way everyone gets to join in on the splendor that is a warm, creamy Hot Toddy!

Pop on over to the LuLu*s blog to get the full recipe run down! Let me know if you think you'll be trying it soon! It makes me want to host an Autumn get-together for sure. Not to mention create more season-appropriate cocktails! It's kind of fun when that's part of your "job," ya know? Happy Friday!
