The holidays are fast approaching and Old Man Winter is knocking at the door. However, I have the perfect stress free sip that will bring a smile to your soul – a creamy Chila ‘Orchata White Hot Chocolate that is so easy to make, you will never look at those instant cocoa mix packets ever again.

Ever since I learned to make hot chocolate from scratch, I wondered why I didn’t learn how to make homemade hot chocolate sooner. It just takes a few ingredients to whisk up something creamy and delicious and, if you are feeling a touch decadent, you can add a bit of spirit and heavy cream to the mix for something that is truly out of this world. You control the flavor and the ingredients and the possibilities are endless….

Last minute entertaining always seems to happen around the holidays. Whether it’s friends dropping by to catch the game, a last minute Girls Night In or just because, I’ve learned to keep a few things on hand to make my cocktail game easier.

I often keep lemonade in the fridge to mix into cocktails and mocktails and love to try various flavor fusions. Recently, I discovered this new Tropicana Tangerine Lemonade and couldn’t resist giving it a try. I have a love of tangerines, especially with all of the wonderful seasonal citrus coming into the stores, and have been adding them to a few recipes but never thought to mix tangerines with lemonade. I knew I had to shake up a cocktail or two with this lovely sip.

When my gal Heather invited me to put on my witch hat and channel my inner Halloween spirit for the #HalloweenProject, I couldn’t wait to grab my cocktail shaker and shake a little “spirit” into the festivities.

Whenever I throw a get-together, I always have a signature cocktail and La Diabla will be my signature cocktail this year. I was inspired by this recipe from Real Simple and put my stiletto spin on it. La Diabla is sweet and sassy with the flavors of raspberry and pomegranate woven throughout with a bite from the tequila and the ginger. This cocktail goes down smooth but it does pack quite the stiletto kick so you need to pace yourself when sipping this libation….

This smooth and silky Toasty Coconut Cocktail has the familiar flavors of the favorite Toasted Almond drink with a coconut twist.

Spring has arrived. Actually, it feels like summer but who is complaining, right? The birds are chirping, the sun is hsining and flowers are bloming everywhere! One thing I love about the good weather is enjoying a fab cocktail on the back porch and enjoying the weather. Today, I have a cocktail that is perfect to welcome spring with – The Toasty Coconut Cocktail.

Sometimes when I’m looking to switch up my cocktail game, I love experimenting with new flavors and products. Lately, I have been trying to limit dairy so I have been using Silk’s products in various recipes. While perusing the store, I spotted their new Nutchello products in some pretty delicious flavors. I saw the Toasted Coconut + Cashew and couldn’t resist giving that a try. Nutchello also comes in these scrumptious Caramel Almond + Cashews and Dark Chocolate + Walnuts flavors. Any of these are a delicious sip on its own, stirred into coffee or whirled into a smoothie.
