Are you ready for a tantalizing twist on the traditional Old Fashioned cocktail? This Peanut Butter Whiskey Old Fashioned is a little fruity, slightly sweet, and tempered with bitters. It’s easy to sip on a cool fall evening and best enjoyed with a friend.
Are you a peanut butter and chocolate fan? Then this Peanut Butter Cup Martini is made for you! It’s a sweet treat that is best enjoyed with a friend. Or, it’s the perfect indulgence for one when you just want to forget about the world around you for a minute.
Peanut Butter Cup Martinis would also be a perfect dessert option after dinner with your friends. I know my mom would be totally happy with this for dessert. Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll make it for you next time you come visit. 😉
…Remember those creamsicle popsicles you loved as a kid? Well, this Orange Creamsicle Martini will take you right back down memory lane. It’s perfectly creamy, lightly sweetened, and oh so delicious.
I love this martini because it has the perfect amount of sweetness without being cloyingly sweet. You can use prepared orange juice, or fresh squeezed juice, if you prefer. If you prefer a little added sweetness, simply add a touch of simple syrup or agave nectar.
…A White Wine Sangria with Tropical Fruit is the perfect way to celebrate the weekend. It’s light and refreshing with just a bit of sweetness that’s tempered with some fresh squeezed lime juice. I like to add a bit of club soda or seltzer to mine just to lighten it up a bit, but that’s totally optional. This is a cocktail that’s perfect for happy hour or brunch.
It’s also a perfect cocktail for a small gathering. Simply mix up a pitcher of sangria the day before, then store it in the fridge overnight until you’re ready to drink it. Serve over ice, and top with club soda if desired.
…The Blue Hawaiian is a classic cocktail for sitting poolside, or perhaps even oceanside. It’s fruity, a little sweet, and simply beautiful. Just look at that color, would you?
Looking to escape to that tropical paradise? The Blue Hawaiian will transport you there, no matter where you are. Traditionally, a Blue Hawaiian is prepared with coconut cream as part of the recipe, but I’ve lightened up the recipe a bit to make it more refreshing for the hot summer weather. With that said, if you like a creamier cocktail, go ahead and add that coconut cream.
…Refreshing Boozy Freeze Pops are perfect for your 4th of July celebrations. Heck they’re perfect to have on hand all summer! These are an adult treat that will make you smile like a kid 😊
Almost any cocktail that you enjoy can be transformed into a Boozy Freeze Pop or “Poptail.” I’ve included three of my favorite red, white, and blue themed cocktails to inspire you, but the possibilities are pretty endless, so let your creative flag wave.
…What tastes like summer in a glass? This Mango Colada, of course. 😎 It’s rich and creamy and naturally sweet from the fresh fruit and coconut cream. 🍍
What I really love about this cocktail recipe is that it uses real ingredients instead of mixers with ingredients that I can’t pronounce. For me, the fresh fruit added the perfect amount of sweetness without needing any extra sweetener. Full fat coconut cream makes the Mango Colada ultra creamy and smooth.
…This Peanut Butter and Jelly Martini will reintroduce your adult self to your inner child. It’s a little sweet, with a kick for balance from the whiskey, and not just a little bit addicting. An optional PB&J on the side is highly recommended.
A classic Mint Julep is simply bourbon, mint, simple syrup, and LOTS of crushed ice. Eventually, that crushed ice will begin to dilute the cocktail, but it’s worth mentioning that this is definitely a cocktail worth slowly savoring. Now, you probably already know that I’m not one to keep refined white sugar in the house, so you know I’m gonna throw a slight curve ball your way when making the simple syrup while still staying true to the original concept.
Slightly sweet, slightly tart, this Skinny Blood Orange Margarita is a refreshing cocktail to enjoy outside on a beautiful day. You’ll love that these margaritas contain fewer carbs and sugar than a traditional margarita made with bottled sour mix.
