Salted Caramel White Russian

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Oz Salted Caramel coffee liqueur - Bailey's or Kaluha
  • 2 Oz Salted Caramel Vodka
  • 1 Oz Half & Half (Caramel sauce to garnish glass)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a cocktail shaker, combine the Kahlua, vodka, and half & half. Stir with a spoon to combine. Drip caramel sauce down the side of a drinking glass. Add ice until the glass is about three-quarters full; then pour in your cocktail. Garnish with a straw and serve.

CRANBERRY BOURBON COCKTAIL

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 2 ounces cranberry juice (100% juice, unsweetened)
  • 1/2 ounce rosemary sage simple syrup
  • Splash of lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • Fresh rosemary and sage for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Rosemary Sage Simple Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine one cup of sugar and one cup of water. Toss in a couple of sprigs each of fresh rosemary and sage. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. This will take 5-8 minutes. Strain the herbs from the simple syrup and allow it to cool completely before using.

In a glass filled with ice, add the bourbon, cranberry juice, rosemary sage simple syrup, and a splash of lemon juice. Stir to combine.
