Vanilla Christmas Dream

Day 306



Vanilla Christmas Dream
3 shots out of 5




Last week of school for the kids, holy excitement Batman!!  

What's even better?  

Friday is a minimum day!  

Wowzers!  

We just got Madagascar 3 from Netflix, so my husband and the kids are watching the "extras" while I blog.


I gave tonight's cocktail 3 shots out of 5.  

I had found a cocktail online that used regular vodka, and I made the decision to substitute it with vanilla vodka and amend the name a bit and change the garnish.  

This cocktail is pretty good.  

The fact that 1/3 of the ingredients is cream makes me nervous....I just know my tummy will be doing flips and cartwheels here in a bit.  

If you enjoy the taste of amaretto, I think you will like this cocktail because the amaretto is the one ingredient that I can taste the most of.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is the recipe for a Vanilla Christmas Dream:

  • 1 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz amaretto
  • 1 1/2 oz cream
  • chocolate shavings for garnish

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above except for the chocolate shavings.  Shake and strain your cocktail into a martini glass and garnish with chocolate shavings.



Here's to 4 more days of school for my kids and then some serious family time together!!

Cheers!!
