May 21, 2014 | By | Add a Comment

A perfect skier cocktail, giving you the warmth and comfort from the cream, then the peppermint schnapps to give you that refreshing and cool feel with every sip. A spin-off from the Colorado Bulldog, which many of you are familiar with, this replaces the vodka with the schnapps to give you a completely different and unique flavor that will become one of your go-to cream cocktails.

This Drink of the Day isn’t just for the snow enthusiasts. A great dessert cocktail that will compliment many meals, this drink is good any time of the year. A perfect icing-on-the-cake beverage.

Another Hump Day to celebrate. This will definitely help you over the midway part to the work week and not wreck you on Thursday morning. That’s only if you keep it to a couple. Enjoy your day and CHEERS!
