Millionaire's Coffee

Have I got the BEST hot flavorful coffee cocktail in the whole wide world for you!

That's right!  I said it!

The BEST!  Until I find better anyways........

Millionaire's Coffee is so flavorful and delicious I almost couldn't believe it.  See I'm not huge on alcohol in coffee (gasp........what?  The Cocktail Lady....NOT into alcohol in coffee).  I know sounds weird right?  Well the thing is, I like my alcohol cold.  I like it shaken, stirred, blended.....but not usually hot.

This cocktail is for sure the ultimate exception!

OK let's start with the main ingredient, coffee.

For YEARS we have had a regular coffee maker.  You know the kind, coffee grinds into a filter.  Pour the water in the top......some of it spills all over the counter no matter how slow or quick you pour.  Eventually a pot of coffee has been brewed.

Now we have a Keurig 2.0 AND I LOVE IT!!!!  It always takes me a little while to "agree" to get the latest and greatest (VHS --> DVD or film to digital camera), and in the end I'm always happy I switched.  Here is the Keurig we have:

One of the main reasons why I LOVE our coffee maker is because you can CHOOSE the amount of coffee you want brewed!!  Totally cool, right?  Such as in this recipe, you need 6 ounces of hot coffee.  Well problem solved and I didn't even have to use ANY measuring cups!  Love It!

OK, so here's "The Best" coffee cocktail being built:

First goes the coffee.

Next the Irish Cream Liqueur.

Add the hazelnut liqueur.

Don't forget the coffee liqueur.

Stir it up well.

Never forget the whipped cream!!

The ground cinnamon on top perfects this cocktail!

Tiramisu Martini

Tiramisu Martini

Tiramisu Martini is oh so delicious and the perfect cocktail to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Hey everyone!  

It's me.  

I am soooo excited to show you all this cocktail I just created!  

Soooo sooooo excited.  

Can you say chocolatey? (Side note, I'm not a huge chocolate fan...but this here cocktail, oh my!)  

Tiramisu is my husbands and my dessert.  Reason being is that when we went to Tahoe for a snowboarding trip all of those years ago, my husband proposed and for our engagement dessert they gave us a tiramisu.  

From then on, it has always held a very special place in my heart.

I know.........I know.........it's been a while since my last post.  A little bit over a month to be exact, but I will tell you it's been absolutely crazy around here.  

Anyone else have 4 kids in school ranging from a senior in high school (gasp.....I need to stop saying that out loud--maybe it won't be true) to a kindergartner?  

Between the 4 different times they are getting out of school to the four different levels of homework, throw in a couple different sports, trying to figure out college paths, second grade field trips.......you know what I'm going to stop right there or I might make myself another one of these SUPER DELICIOUS cocktails to drink.

It has definitely been a while since I have made a cocktail where I drizzle chocolate syrup inside of the glass.

I had forgotten how much fun it was to drink a cocktail like that!  I also rimmed the glass with chocolate syrup as well as cocoa powder.

Then it's just mixing the ingredients, shaking and straining.  Yup, it's THAT easy!

After that  you get to do the best part of making a cocktail, drink it!

Here is my recipe for a Tiramisu Martini:

Creamy Irish Balls

Creamy Irish Balls

It's Friday!  


It's been over a week (one day over) since I've last posted and I promise that I have been wanting to in this last week.  I really did.  


My days have been filled up with family and helping them out.  I absolutely LOVE the fact that I am a stay at home Mom, for the sole reason that when my kids are in school I can help out with family stuff in my free time.  


This is the very first year that I have had all 4 kids in school, so it's a nice change.

I was looking online for some Irish inspired cocktails for St. Patrick's Day.  I found a couple and decided to put my own twist on them.  


Today's cocktail I call Creamy Irish Balls.  I had a few names for this cocktail come to mind, but this one I thought was the best!

This cocktail is creamy from the Irish Cream and then has a nice cinnamon kick at the end.  


Fireball whisky seems to do that when mixed with other ingredients.  It always seems to give a good cinnamon-ey kick to finish off each sip.  Now you have another option when trying to decide what to drink for St. Patrick's Day!  My goal is to give you a couple more choices between now and then.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here's my recipe for Creamy Irish Balls:

• 1 1/2 ounces Irish Cream Liqueur
• 1 1/2 ounces Fireball Whisky

In a shaker, add ice and both ingredients above.  Shake and strain into a glass and enjoy!

Here's to family.  I don't know what I would do without mine!

Cheers!

Jellyfish (shooter)

Is this week over yet?  

Is it Friday yet?  

Wait........I'm not ready for the weekend yet, so it can't be here already....I just REALLY need this week to be over already.  Needless to say these past 3 days have been....crazy.

Last Friday our oldest took his test at the DMV to get his permit.  

Passed!!  

Yesterday he had his first official "behind the wheel" instruction.  Now that his first 2 hours are done, he can now drive with a licensed driver 35 or older!  

So today....he and I took our first drive.  

He "very willingly" drove me to Target, he did great!  We are slowly working towards those 50 hours of driving he and I (or my husband, my folks, his aunts/uncles) have to complete, yeay!!

I wanted to make a fun shooter today so I searched online.  

I found the same recipe for a Jellyfish shooter over and over again, so I thought I'd give it a try.  

It's a fun shooter to make and a nice quick one to drink.  I have made one similar in the past, Brain Hemorrhage, which was really good.  

This one was easier to get down because there wasn't as much of the "hanging baileys" in the middle as there was in the Brain Hemorrhage.  All in all it was a pretty yummy shooter.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Jellyfish:

• 1/2 ounce white creme de cacao
• 1/2 ounce amaretto
• 1/2 ounce Irish Cream liqueur
• 4 drops grenadine

In a shot glass, pour in the first two ingredients.  Next layer the Irish Cream on top of them.  With a straw drip 4 drops of grenadine in the middle.

Here's to another fun shooter!

Cheers!!

Banana Slip

I need to say that I can NOT believe how long it's been since my last post.  

These past 2 weeks have been absolutely insane.......I'm surprised I haven't have more cocktails.  

We celebrated my birthday with some friends on Saturday, which was a total blast!  Had a few margaritas, a few shots of Fireball (by itself......no mixing needed) and a couple beers.  

Yea.......it was a good night!

I haven't done a layered shooter in a while, so a I thought I'd do one.  I found a few online that look "interesting" so be ready!  

I also was told of a Fireball cocktail a reader of mine makes at her house (which I'm totally going to try), as well as another shooter Fireball posted on Facebook not too long ago.  

Needless to say, I've got some cocktails on the way.

This shooter is OK.  

It doesn't scream "I'm the best shooter in the world".......yet it's not the worst.  

The equal amounts of both liqueurs seem to sort of cancel each other out, so this shooter doesn't taste like either one too much......just a blend of both.  

It was worth trying, since I love creme de banana, but I won't be trying it again.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Banana Slip:

• 3/4 ounce creme de banana
• 3/4 ounce Irish Cream

In a shot glass, pour in your creme de banana.  Next over the back of a spoon, layer the Irish Cream on top.

Here's to getting back to making cocktails after a couple of crazy weeks!!

Cheers!!

Flaming Orgasm

Last day of school, last day of school!!!  

Hip hip hooorayyy!!!  

This house was buzzing last night because our second oldest's last day of school is today!  

This morning I was still in bed and my son walks in, "Morning Mom!".  

I check the clock thinking I must have missed the alarm.....nope.  

I said, "Well you're up early.  Excited about your last day of school?"  

He said "YES!  I have been up since 6:20 this morning."  

Since it's a half day today.....let the summer begin!

I found a cocktail I wanted to make today on my Cocktails pinterest board.  

I was excited because I wasn't feeling "creative" enough to create one myself.  

I pulled out all of the ingredients and then went to the fridge to get the OJ.......nothing.  

Dang it.  

I searched and searched for another one.  

Nothing.  

Then I got to thinking of how much fun our Fireball shots were a few weeks ago.......and thought, what if I create something with Fireball??  

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!  

Oh and I have added a bunch of items to my "The Cocktail Lady" store.  Check it out here.  I want to work on more designs soon and put them up there as well.  But for now, these are what I have.

Irish Coffee Balls

Here we are, Day 5 of 5!  


What a Fireball-ey kind of week, huh?  


Today I decided to set aside the Fireball recipes I had found on their Facebook page and create my own.  I must say.....Ding Ding Ding......winner winner, chicken dinner!!

Besides the fun part of naming a new cocktail (especially when you are working with an ingredients by the name of Fireball) I think drinking this one is even better.  


This shooter will definitely be one of the newest additions to our "Everybody have a shot!" parties for sure.  The three ingredients in this cocktail are Ah-maze-ing together and it goes down pretty darn smooth.

I hope you all have enjoyed these 5 Days Of Fireball I have done.  


I know that some of you are waiting to see all of the recipes that I make before you decide which one to have (Jan if you like Irish Cream Liqueur and Kahlua....you might want to make this one the one you try).  


If any of you do try one of these 5 recipes, please let me know which one/s you try and what you think of them.  I would love to hear from you.

Here is a photo of the end result:
