Drink of the Day: Silk Stockings

A creamy after-dinner cocktail sounds like a nice warmer-upper for the chill in the air. One using tequila as a base sounds even better. This will surely get you forgetting about the cold weather for a moment.

Using Creme de Cacao to give it a chocolate edge and smoothing it out with a little grenadine and cream, your guests will be thanking you for this delightful imbibing experience; especially after a nice hearty meal. With it being Thursday, you may want to have a second one to ensure you keep the warm and toasty feeling for a while.

The weekend is upon us and so are some cold winter nights. Hope you enjoy this nice cocktail to warm you up and keep you feeling nice and warm. Cheers!
