Boozy Advent 22: Spiced Rum Frozen Pina Colada
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.

Boozy Advent 17: Mango Ginger Jalapeno Creamy Margarita
For Day 17 of Boozy Advent, I made the cocktail with the World’s Longest Name: Mango Ginger Jalapeno Creamy Margarita. As I’ve mentioned many, many times during this series, the options in mini booze bottles are interesting. Limited isn’t quite the right word, because the box of booze a friend in Kentucky sent to me…
