The Kir Imperial cocktail is the perfect bubbly cocktail for New Years Eve! It's so easy to make, and perfect for giving your NYE Champagne a festive twist. Special thanks to @sarahbaeumlershop and @sarahbaeumler for featuring this drink. Love their elegant home goods and style! Kir Imperial ¾ ounce Chambord raspberry liqueur 4 ounces brut Champagne Optional (but recommended!) fresh raspberry for garnish Chill your ingredients before making this drink. Add the Chambord to your glass and top with Champagne. Give it a gentle stir to mix, add a raspberry and serve. Cheers to 2024! #cocktail #champagne #newyearseve #raspberrycocktail

This drink was definitely a hit this Christmas! It's a Gingerbread Espresso Martini, and it's sooo good. I made a homemade gingerbread syrup to go in this, and of course, added gingerbread crumbs to the glass rim. What have you been drinking during the holidays this year? To make one, stick the gingerbread cookie crumbs to the rim either using the syrup or melted white chocolate. Shake with ice, strain and garnish with coffee beans. Cheers! 1¼ ounce vodka ½ ounce coffee liqueur ¾ ounce gingerbread syrup (I used homemade - recipe on my blog) 1 ounce espresso (freshly brewed and cooled) #cocktail #gingerbreadcocktail #espressomartini #christmascocktail

Happy Halloween! I made this drink in celebration of the Sanderson sisters 💚😈 are you guys Hocus Pocus fans? I wanted to make it bright green and purple, like Winifred's dress. Hope you have a spook-tacular holiday 👻 1½ ounces vodka ¾ ounce Midori ¾ ounce lime juice ½ ounce simple syrup ¼ teaspoon edible glitter (optional) 2 ounces seltzer purple sanding sugar for the rim 💜 charmingcocktails.com/hocus-pocus-drink #cocktails #halloween #halloweencocktails #midori #vodka #greencocktails

Have you ever made a shrub cocktail? I happen to love shrub! If you've never heard of it, it's basically a fruit and vinegar syrup, and it works so well as a cocktail ingredient. I received some different flavors of shrub from @purelydrinks and this one turned out to be the perfect fall cocktail! It uses their Ginger Lemon shrub along with @PimmsGB liqueur and gin. The spices blend beautifully together. Definitely give this one a try! 1½ oz gin ½ oz ginger shrub ½ oz Pimm's liqueur 1 oz seltzer 1 maraschino cherry #cocktails #fallcocktails #falldrinks #shrub #shrubcocktail #pimmsautumnchallenge #autumncocktail

Halloween is almost here! What spooky cocktails are you all planning to make? This Halloween Margarita has become one of my favorites. I used black lava salt on the rim to give it a more Halloween-y vibe (regular salt or black sugar works too if you are avoiding charcoal!) 1½ ounce tequila blanco ½ ounce Aperol liqueur ½ ounce Grand Marnier liqueur ½ ounce Licor 43 1 ounce lime juice #cocktails #halloweencocktails #halloweendrink #cocktailsathome #aperol #margaritalover #tequilacocktail

Gingerbread Laddie cocktail 🍸 I was super excited to make another holiday drink with @Bruichladdich’s The Classic Laddie! This single malt Scotch whisky is really delicious and versatile in mixed drinks. It has a sweet and rich flavor from the Scottish barley base and oak barrel aging. Definitely a good one for sipping, and the blue bottle makes it a beautiful bottle to gift for the holidays! You can purchase through the link in my bio🎁 For this drink, I wanted to incorporate some rich baking spices, so I made a gingerbread syrup. This turned out to be sooo tasty all together and I highly recommend giving it a try!! Gingerbread Laddie 1½ oz @Bruichladdich Classic Laddie Scotch whisky ½ oz coffee liqueur 1 oz gingerbread syrup 1 egg white or vegan cocktail foamer Bar spoon ginger juice 2 dashes cardamom bitters Combine everything in a cocktail shaker and shake without ice. Add ice and shake again, and then double strain into a stemmed serving glass. Add a whole star anise and freshly grated nutmeg on top for garnish. Gingerbread syrup 1 cup white sugar 1 cup water 2 Tbsp molasses Knob of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into chunks Handful of mulling spices Mix everything together and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Turn it down to a simmer for 3 minutes, then let it cool to room temp before straining it into a bottle.
