For the 22nd Day of Boozy Advent, I blended a Spiced Rum Frozen Pina Colada. We rarely make frozen drinks here but were talking about how in the 80’s and 90’s a restaurant in the Kansas City area made pina coladas everyone talked about. They were made with soft serve ice cream. Neither of us…
Boozy Advent 21: Cranberry Bourbon Fizz
For Day 21 of Boozy Advent, I made a Cranberry Bourbon Fizz. I made this cocktail using the Cranberry Bourbon Fizz recipe from Gimme Some Oven.
