drinks too sweet not to share 🍬🍫


easy, elegant entertaining


Hey, Reader!

Halloween is just one day away and whether you're all-in for spooky season or prefer pumpkins to poltergeists, one thing I think most of us enjoy is the candy!

There's just something about the assortment of treats that takes me back to my childhood. I was clearly a future foodie in the making because I got such satisfaction out of dumping out a bag of colorful, sugary loot all over our living room floor just to see what all I picked up!

But why let kids have all the fun this week?! These candy-inspired drinks are here to satisfy your sweet tooth, no trick-or-treating required!

tootsie roll cocktail

You'll have to try it for yourself, but I promise this drink tastes just like its namesake! Just two ingredients means the tootsie roll cocktail comes together easily for a fizzy, fun drink. The shot version would be extra fun for parties!

drunken gummies

I love a treat that makes a big impact and drunken gummies definitely do! Opt for vodka gummy worms for a spooky Halloween treat (they make a great garnish for your creepy crawly cocktails).

candy corn vodka

Love it or not, candy corn is a seasonal icon. Capture its color and flavor when you infuse it into vodka for shooters and drinks. It would also work for jello shots!

mad scientist cocktails

Skittles-infused vodka gives mad scientist cocktails their bright and creepy colors! Add a splash of soda and serve them up in beakers with dry ice for a truly impressive presentation.

caramel apple mimosas

If you've always dreamed of getting a caramel apple while trick-or-treating, this one's for you! This sweet, bubbly libation has the iconic flavors of this sweet thanks to caramel vodka and apple cider.

More of a chocolate fan? These Peanut Butter Cup Shots are hard to beat!

I can't wait to hear which of these is your favorite. Hit 'reply' and let me know!

Happy Halloween!

Susannah

A hot cocktail in a clear glass mug with lemon and whole spices.

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! So much of Thanksgiving is focused on the feast. The turkey, the potatoes, the dessert... But what happens when the leftovers are packaged and the table has been cleared? Nightcaps. A nightcap (or after-dinner drink) is a perfect way to end a meal, but it can also act as a sort of boozy hurrah just before bedtime. You decide what you need after a day filled with family and friends. πŸ˜‰ Either way, we can all agree a nightcap is the perfect way to end a...

Two creamy white cocktails with cinnamon rims and decorative evergreen tree picks as a garnish.

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! I would be remiss if I let fall pass by without sharing recipes that star one of my favorite flavors β€” cinnamon! Just a sprinkle of cinnamon gives drinks (and baked goods, and breakfast, and coffee... the list goes on) a cozy element that is unmatched as the weather turns. I like to use cinnamon syrup to add a splash of cinnamon to my cocktails. Cinnamon lovers can amp up the flavor with a cinnamon sugar rim and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cinnamon stick...
