Winter Cocktail | Nautical Lifestyle

January 25, 2012 | Posted in Lifestyle

As one of the Co-Editors of Bayside Bride, I get the opportunity to try completely new things – photograph all sorts of projects – and really expand my love for all things Annapolis! One of our most popular series on the blog is our Cocktails of the Month, which features a new delectable drink every 30 days that brides and non-brides alike could create for their next event!

We launched the series the week that I turned twenty-one as a way to celebrate my birthday and try something new for our readers. Well, one month turned into two, two into three – and so on – until creating different cocktails of the month became a really fun activity for Krista and I to take part in.

And I’ve got to be honest – I absolutely LOVE creating these cocktails!

I have so much fun pretending to be a mixologist, combining delicious ingredients in the kitchen until it tastes just right. Then creating a way to showcase the drink, photographing it, and sharing it online for all to enjoy!

January’s drink was my personal take on the White Russian, which I’ve lovingly named the Bayside Blizzard. The recipe combines: equal parts Coffee, Kahlua, and Heavy Cream + a dash of Vodka and Godiva Liqueur! Swirled together in a delicious mixture and topped with whipped cream, this cocktail is seriously my favorite one yet! Sounds delicious, right? Well, it is! Be sure to snag the cute recipe card.

As the saying goes – It’s five o’clock somewhere! Cheers!
