Root Beer Float Cocktail

Day 54

Root Beer Float

5 shots out of 5

This totally tastes like a root beer float!  I really really like this one!  A friend of mine used to make something like this, but I don't think she used the flavor of vodka I used or measured it the way I did.  I guess that means that I'm going to have to make this cocktail for her next time she comes over, right?

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  This tastes just like it's name.  Thanks to Sandi (once again!  She's got some good cocktail recipes) she gave me the recipe for this one and the idea of a little bit of whipped cream swirled in it, for that extra yum flavor!  It tasted good before I swirled in the whipped cream, but I have to say that the whipped cream added to its yummyness and I definitely recommend using it!

Here is the recipe for a Root Beer Float:

• 1 shot whipped cream vodka
• 2 shots root beer
• whipped cream

In a shaker add ice, vodka & root beer.  Shake it up well and strain it into a tall skinny glass, or a martini glass.  Add a good squirt of whipped cream on top and give it a quick stir.  Sip and enjoy!!

Cheers to you Sandi and Root Beer Floats!  You were right, this cocktail is good!!

Chocolate Covered Pretzel

Day 41

Chocolate Covered Pretzel

3.5 shots out of 5

WOW, there's another new liqueur that I had never tried, Frangelico!  The bottle is the one that looks like the Mrs. Buttersworth Pancake Syrup bottle.  I've always wondered what it tasted like and tonight, thanks to Gloria, I was finally able to find out!

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  As you can see by my photo below, you need to salt the rim of your cocktail glass.......uh yea.......I salted it A BIT too much!  I am the person who orders my margaritas with NO salt, therefore I did not know how much salt to add to this glass, I figured it would look really neat with some extra salt.  Yea, extra salt for looks is one thing, it doesn't mean you should actually drink from it!  After making a squinched up face from my first salty sip, I wiped a section off and tried it again.  Not bad!!  I'm not sure that it tastes like a pretzel, but whatever the taste, it's pretty good!  The Frangelico does have a chocolat-ey taste to it which is nice.

Thank You Gloria for your suggestion to make the Chocolate Covered Pretzel!  Definitely a cocktail I never would have heard of if it wasn't for you!

Here is the recipe for the Chocolate Covered Pretzel:

• 1 1/2 shots of whipped cream vodka
• 1 1/2 shots Frangelico

In a shaker add ice, whipped cream vodka and Frangelico.  Shake up well to mix both ingredients.  Wet and salt rim of martini glass, then strain your cocktail into glass and enjoy!!
