Happy Thirsty Thursday! It’s officially getting really chilly outside and as a result my allergies are kicking my butt! Like literally kicking my butt. As a result I am breaking out one of my family’s home remedies that always make you feel a million times better! Have you ever had a Hot Toddy before? If not pay attention, the recipe is below. There is one thing you should know. This recipe is very customizable. If you want it sweeter add more honey, need it stronger add more alcohol. The sky is the limit. This can be made kid friendly by not adding alcohol but I’m not sure it will be quite as effective.

The recipe below is for one cocktail. If you need more just adjust accordingly.

Ingredients:
◦Boiling Hot Water
◦Fresh Lemon
◦Honey
◦Bourbon or whiskey of your choosing

Recipe:
◦Boil water (you will need at least one cup for the drink. You can add more or less water if you prefer.)
◦Once water is boiling pour one cup into mug,
◦Add 2 ounces of Bourbon or Whiskey to mug, (I had Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey in the house so that is what I picked.)
◦Add fresh squeezed lemon juice to you mug, (Again this is to taste. You can use as much or as little as you want. I did about 2 ounces)
◦Add honey. (This is to taste. I personally added about half a tablespoon to the drink.)
◦Enjoy!

Trust me, this is super simple. Even I can make this when I am super sick. Its a great comforting drink and will be an easy get well soon tool for your arsenal.

Happy Thirsty Thursday. It’s sixty degrees outside. It’s too chilly but I wanted to have one more (okay it won’t be one more I’ll still make them) iced coffee before I switch into fall mode. Tonight I’m enjoying an Iced Flat White. It’s an easy fun drink that could be made hot or cold depending on your preferences.

The recipe below is for one cocktail. If you want more just adjust accordingly.

Ingredients:
◦ Vodka (I use grey goose)
◦ Espresso
◦ Kahlúa
◦ Creamer/milk
◦ Ice

Recipe:
◦ If you’re doing this as an iced drink put ice cubes in your glass,
◦ Make your espresso and pour it over ice.
◦ Add 2 ounces of vodka to glass
◦ Add 2 ounces of Kahlúa to glass
◦ Add a splash of milk (I used my lightly sweetened vanilla creamer but you can use any that you’d prefer.)
◦ Enjoy!

I know it really is that simple! It’s equally easy to make this hot, just don’t put in the ice and you can sip this all summer and winter long!

Happy Thirsty Thursday! Today I am still strictly keeping my house and my mindset in summer for a little while longer! (Or until Tuesday after Labor Day; then hello fall.)

To keep with that mindset this week we’re making a Kentucky Lemonade to keep celebrating and enjoying summer a little longer. This cocktail is pretty simple. You’ll need two ingredients to make this delicious beverage. You don’t need any real bar tools. I used a shot class to measure my bourbon but you can use any measuring cup.

The recipe below is for one cocktail. If you want more just adjust accordingly.

Ingredients:
◦ Lemonade
◦ Bourbon
◦ Ice

Recipe:
◦ Add ice into cocktail glass
◦ Pour in 1 cup of lemonade of your choosing
◦ Add 2 ounces bourbon (I used OYO honey vanilla bean bourbon for mine!)
◦ Add desired garnishb I prefer lemon slices
◦ Enjoy!

This was super easy to make and it tasted just like lemonade so be warned; it is stronger than it tastes. Let me know how you enjoy it and customize it to make your own!

Over the weekend I made the most amazing breakfast; an omelette and cinnamon rolls. The funny part is normally I just throw them in the oven and boom warm delicious goodness but on Saturday I was feeling very productive and decided why not try out cooking my cinnamon rolls in my waffle maker! Full disclosure I was really nervous and thought I’d burn them but I didn’t!

So here is my very simple ingredients list and step by step process!

Ingredients:
◦ Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls with icing
◦ Butter cooking spray

Step by step guide:
◦ Turn on waffle maker I set it to half way heat
◦ When waffle maker is ready spray maker with butter spray
◦ Put one cinnamon roll in the middle of waffle maker and close it
◦ Set time 3.5 mins and let cook
◦ Take cinnamon roll out of waffle maker and enjoy.
◦ Side step: I put my icing on the outside my waffle maker and let it warm up for 45 seconds prior to spreading it on the cinnamon rolls

Okay now you’ve read the recipe and seen the pictures. Trust me. Go make this ASAP. You’ll thank me tom!

Happy Thirsty Thursday! Cheers to making it through another week! This week it felt like summer and all I wanted to do was lounge out by the pool. It just made me think of my absolute favorite Disney Movie: “The Little Mermaid.” This drink is a basic version and I would love to see what you guys come up with.

To make this Under the Sea cocktail you only need two ingredients but you can add in any toppings you want to make it sparkle!

Ingredients:
◦ Blue Curaçao
◦ Barefoot Bubbly Prosecco (you could use a different Champagne if you’d prefer but I liked this one.)

Directions:
◦ Pour one ounce of the blue curaçao into your champagne flute.
◦ Pour in champagne as desired.

Now if you wanna make this more interesting you can add a rim of simple syrup and put blue or gold glitter on the rim of the flute. You could also add in Swedish Fish or shark gummies to make this more of a party favorite. If you really wanna make it fun you can add a rock candy sucker and to the drink. The sky is the limit with creativity so please please please tag me with how you make this because I wanna see!
