Hello Celebrations at Home readers! This is Carrie from Half Baked – The Cake Blog and I cannot tell you how excited I am to be guest blogging for Chris today. Celebrations at Home is one of my daily reads, so I am just thrilled to be here! In case you’re not familiar, Half Baked is my blog where we chat about sweet events and sweet treats. That means we cover everything from birthday parties to weddings and showers. You’ll find hot new dessert tables, the latest cake designs, cupcakes, cookies, cocktails and more! Speaking of cookies and cocktails…

Have you ever wondered if Santa gets tired of milk and cookies? Maybe after centuries of cookies he’d like something a little more interesting. Something new to spice things up! After all, he has a long night of delivering presents across the globe. This will be the first year Santa makes a visit to our little girl and maybe she’ll be a sweet baby and leave Santa one of these delicious cookie cocktails. Classic cookie inspired drinks make for a very Merry Christmas!

 

Chocolate Peppermint Cookie:
3/4oz Partida Blanco Tequila
1oz Peppermint Schnapps
3/4oz Godiva Liqueur
1-1/2oz cream
Chocolate syrup and candy canes for garnish
Rim martini glass with chocolate syrup and crushed candy canes. Shake ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into martini glass.
Toasted Macaroon:
1 oz Coconut Milk
1-1/2oz Coconut Rum
1/4oz Licor 43
