Super Bowl

Beer Cocktails

That's right!  Super Bowl!  Ready or not it's THIS Sunday!

Are you ready for some foooootballllll?!?!

You will be after you check out these 6 game winning beer cocktails I have for you.

For me when I think of sports in general......I think of beer.  Trust me, if I could sit down and crack open a nice cold IPA, I will be a happy camper for sure.

But.......sometimes I like to kick it up a notch and what better time to do that then Super Bowl Sunday?

So get ready to kick up your beer drinking this Sunday and classify it as a beer cocktail.  Here are my 5 delicious cocktails for you:

Hornitos La Man-Zana

Combining spiced honey tequila with beer is a alternative way to enjoy your Mexican lager.

Black Velvet

Why not celebrate game day with a 

champagne and beer cocktail?  

I can't think of one reason.

Sauza Minted Mule

Think Moscow Mule, but with a tequila twist!

Moon-A-Rita

Half margarita, half beer.  What's not to love!

Bohemia Michelada

Kick up your beer drinking experience by 
adding some extra heat and flavor!

Moscow Mule

Light and refreshing vodka and ginger beer cocktail.

Which ever cocktail you choose, and trust me I'm not judging you if you choose them all, I hope you enjoy the Super Bowl, or at least the Half Time Show!

Chocolate Covered Cranberry

Did I have you at chocolate?  I'm going to sweeten the deal and say cranberry too!  This Chocolate Covered Cranberry is the PERFECT cocktail to help you celebrate Valentine's Day.......or any day really!

A new year is upon us!  

I for one am very excited about it.  

Last year wasn't the best for me or my family with the loss of my mom.

I do believe in fresh starts though!

I was funny because of course the holidays were hard, but something clicked in me on New Years Eve and I was actually excited for the celebration and what it brought.  A BRAND NEW YEAR!

Something inside of me has been turned back on and I've already started cleaning, tried new recipes (I got an Instapot a year and 2 months ago, and FINALLY opened the box and used it), and just started enjoying life more!

Feels pretty darn good too!

Today I want to give you a recipe I created.  

It's pink, which reminds me of Valentine's Day.  

Not that we're big Valentine's Day celebrators over here, but sometimes a pink cocktail is just called for.

This cocktail is an easy one to make and it packs a good amount of flavor too.  You can really taste the chocolate and cranberry flavors inside.  Yum!!

You can't go wrong with chocolate whipped vodka.

Cranberry juice just seals the deal on the yum scale!

Here is my recipe, which I know you'll enjoy especially if you enjoy cranberry juice in your cocktails.

Here's to a New Year and a new fresh start!  I hope this year is the best ever for you all!

Angry By The Fire

I was sent a couple bottles of Angry Orchard so that I could make a cocktail or two of theirs to share with you all.  I was not paid and all opinions are my own and completely honest.

I chose Angry By The Fire because of all of the fun ingredients that goes inside!  

From Angry Orchard to Fireball Whisky to heavy cream and more, this cocktail is a delicious fun blend of ingredients topped with cinnamon.  It is definitely one I will make again!

With two day left until Christmas, our kids could not be more excited!

We've had one family Christmas party so far with two to go.

Last night we went over to our friends house and had Christmas Carolers come and sing a few songs to us.  

What a fun experience!  

I've only seen that in the movies and it was so super special to see it live!

Back to today's cocktail!

What a fun cocktail to make with all of these ingredients!  Also, it allowed me to make my very own, very first Homemade Vanilla Simple Syrup!  Here's how I did it in my Vanilla Simply Syrup post in case you want to make it yourself!

Here is how you make this fun cocktail.

Obviously you are going to add some Angry Orchard to your shaker.

Lemon juice adds a nice refreshing taste to this cocktail.

Not to mentions my Homemade Vanilla Simple Syrup!

Top with ground cinnamon, which adds a tasty touch.

Captain Morgan's Jack-O Blast Recipes

(I was not paid for this review, all opinions are solely my own)

Captain Morgan rum isn't just regular rum.  

They have spiced rum (which I'm sure you've heard of), and flavored rums such as coconut, pineapple & grapefruit.  

They also have a line of cannon ball shaped bottles which include Jack-O Blast, Loconut and Cannon Blast.

I was sent a bottle of Jack-O Blast so that I could try a couple of their cocktails for myself.

Given the fact that it's been a year since I've tasted Jack-O'Blast, I decided to start off with their Captain Morgan Jack-O'Blast Shot.

I do like Captain Morgan's spiced rum, and I do like a good pumpkin flavor.  

I must say, Captain Morgan blended these two flavors perfectly.  The pumpkin is not overwhelming, but it is definitely there.  This flavored spiced rum is a winner!  

Oh and did I mention that it smells good too!

OK, we are 1 for 1 so far!  Let's try another one.  Next I decided to try their Apple Jack-O.

This cocktail mixes the flavors of spiced pumpkin rum and apple cider.  

Apple cider to me always mellows out a cocktail.

That being said, the pumpkin and apple flavors work well together.  

This is a cocktail that you can sip on and enjoy.  It's cold and refreshing.  

That makes us 2 for 2.  

Great job Captain Morgans!

Here are the ingredients for the Apple Jack-O.

I am really enjoying the flavor of Captain Morgan's Jack-O'Blast.  I think I might even try it with coke........later on tonight.

Here are Captain Morgan's recipes for their two yummy cocktails!
