Hey, Reader!

With everyone inside to escape the cold, you may be wondering what they're drinking.

Well, here's some insight into what's currently trending amongst my followers. Try one of these top drinks to get out of your drink rut and perhaps find a new favorite!

homemade zero-proof spirits

Whether it's for Dry January or simply in an effort to consume less alcohol, so many of my followers have been trying their hand at making their own zero-proof spirits! These mixers are easy to make β€” keep them on-hand to swap into your favorite recipes.

honey lemon whiskey sour

This sweet citrus twist on the classic cocktail is a must-try! Honey brightens the lemon and balances out the strong bourbon for a delicious drink. Lemon and honey is one of my favorite flavor combinations and I'm so glad many of you are enjoying it too.

homemade ginger ale

Making ginger ale at home means you're in control of just how sweet or spicy it is! Add your favorite spirit (or zero-proof spirit) for a bubbly bevvy that's just your style.

chocolate pudding shots

Part drink, part dessert and all fun, these tasty treats are perfect party fare! I love how easily they come together and I'm guessing you will too. Unlike jello shots these can be a bit messy to eat, so don't forget the spoon!

old-fashioned simple syrup

If you're an old-fashioned fan, this simple syrup is the hack you need. Make a batch to keep in the fridge and you're set to craft an old-fashioned anytime with just two ingredients!

Hit 'reply' and let me know if your current favorite made the list.

Cheers!

Susannah
