So Fresh, You'll Blush

Don't be surprised if your grown up Christmas wishes come true when this delicious, dessert cocktail is served. Peppermint and chocolate is a classic pairing that finds the spotlight each holiday season.

The invigorating peppermint is perfectly balanced by the rich dark chocolate, creating a symphony of flavor with every sip. Those of us who live in the North know there's a crispness to the cold and peppermint has a way of replicating that icy blast to your mouth. The chocolate flavor, in this case a dark and elegant chocolate, brings forward the rich, familiar sweetness we associate with chocolate. Together, they're a potent powerhouse of indulgence. Sip responsibly! 

White Russian 101

We've covered the historical evolution of the White Russian before. If you want to read some of that, check out the Toasted Marshmallow White Russian Recipe.

The traditional White Russian recipe calls for vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream. The result is a velvety, boozy concoction that's delighted party-goers for decades. For our low-sugar cocktail recipes, we reimagine the classic by replacing the liqueur with a bit of actual cold brew. For the Peppermint Mocha version, we add the Sugar Free Peppermint Pattie Sinless Syrups from our Winter Delights Collection. The result is absolutely inspired - a perfect, festive indulgence.

Holiday Happy Hour

The holidays always seem to be a hectic time of year. Businesses are closing books and trying to make sales, Students are finishing semesters. Parents are planning and wrapping holiday magic. There are gifts to buy, parties to plan, and performances to see. 

All the more reason to schedule a happy hour for yourself, we say! Whether it's once a week or once a season, why not throw an open house for friends and neighbors to drop by for a festive beverage?

Or host a crafting and wrapping party with just a few friends. Make homemade or handmade gifts together and turn the production into an assembly line with better refreshments! Efficient and delicious.

The Peppermint Mocha White Russian might taste like a complicated appertif, but even an inexperienced mixologist can mix one of these. You don't need a formal event or guests to enjoy this delightful dessert beverage. Shake one up for the first snowfall (or the next one!). Treat yourself after a big week or productive weekend.

What do you think? Will you try this delightful fusion of flavor and holiday spirit?
