national root beer float day

My favorite - Root Beer!!! The only thing better than a root beer float would be a root beer float cocktail! I was recently introduced to Three-Olive's Root Beer Vodka and loved it!  Now, I'm thinking I should try this...

s'more cocktail

In case you haven't heard, today is National S'more Day! A timeless summer treat that evokes childhood memories in all of us.  Well, today I found a little twist on the campground dessert that is worthy of adult memories.

S'moretini

32 oz. Vodka

16 oz. Chocolate Liqueur

1 sleeve graham crackers (or more if needed)

1 jar marshmallow creme (Marshmallow Fluff)

1 bag wooden skewers

1bag miniature marshmallows

Pour vodka and chocolate liqueur into a 64 ounce pitcher and stir.  Refrigerate for several hours until very cold. Crush graham crackers and place into a small bowl. Rim 16 martini glasses with marshmallow creme. Dip glasses into graham cracker crumbs and shake gently to remove excess. Place marshmallows on skewers and toast over an open flame (grill or fire pit preferably). Pour 3 ounces of cold drink mixture into each prepared glass and garnish with toasted marshmallow.

Doesn't this sound good!? I'll take one and then s'more! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
