Home for the Holidays

This year I hope all of these things were true for you:

My first batch of sugar cookies!

Lots of yummy goodies to fill your belly.  

Lots of good booze to lift your spirits and help you cope with the craziness that is the holidays.

Our very first full size tree.  Santa came!

Beautiful holiday decor to surround you and keep your spirits jolly.

My wonderful husband and I.

And more than any of these things, I hope you were surrounded by loved ones.  Family friends or whomever makes your heart smile.

My longtime friend Erin, and her boy, my godson, Cassius.

Still more fun to come for New Years!  Any fun plans?  Do you go all out or keep it lowkey?

Tis' the Season for Coconut Flakes

I recently gained a new appreciation for Malibu rum while on my honeymoon in Aruba.  Shocking.

I've just learned that they came out with a new Malibu Holiday/Winter Edition that features actual coconut flakes in the rum!  I'm sooooo goddamn excited! 

I love the flavor of coconut in absolutely anything.  However, believe it or not I'm not a huge fan of sweet drinks.   Here are a few solutions I've come up with to this problem when it comes to mixing up some Malibu yummyness for my glass:

Malibu and black cherry seltzer.  Just enough sweet and absolutely delicious!
Malibu and club soda with just a splash of coca-cola. Obviously Malibu and Coke is a staple at most bars, I find the amounts of sugar in Coke to be disturbing so this is my fast fix to this problem.

What will you be mixing up this holiday season?
