Drink of the Day: Creamsickle

August 21, 2014 | By | Add a Comment

Here’s one for all you hosts out there who don’t want to get too carried away during the party. Something that will keep you in the game all night long without having to worry about feeling the booze while keeping everyone of your guests happy. However, I must stress that this is a very tasty drink and it is very easy to consume these way too quickly. This would throw what I just said out the window. Yes, the alcohol content is low in comparison to the norm and the cocktail is a little bigger than most. But, if you are not careful and not sipping these as you should, you could find yourself on the other side of the fence, so be responsible while imbibing.

A nice combination of sweet and sour that uses Amaretto as the base. If you have ever had the frozen treat that this cocktail is named after, you will understand why it shares the name. A very tasty beverage that will satisfy your taste buds and give you the comfort in knowing you will have done your part in keeping all your friends and family happy during the festivities. Hope you find today’s Drink of the Day enjoyable and refreshing. Cheers!
