SUGAR COOKIE MARTINI Ingredients: 1.5 oz vanilla vodka 1.5 oz irish cream 2 oz milk 1 oz amaretto

SANTA'S COFFEE Ingredients:

MRS. CLAUSE CRAN-WHISKEY Ingredients: 4 oz cranberry juice

2 oz irish cream 6 oz hot coffee 1 oz irish whiskey whipped cream (optional) Instructions: 1. Brew the Coffee: Start by

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 2 oz whiskey or bourbon

1-2 teaspoons of rosemarry simple syrup or muddle rosemarry sprigs (optional) Instructions: 1. Mix the Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine 4 oz of cranberry juice, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 oz of whiskey or bourbon. Stir or shake gently to mix the cinnamon thoroughly into the juice and combine all ingredients. 2. Incorporate the Rosemary: If using rosemary simple syrup, add 1-2 teaspoons to the mixture and stir. If you’re muddling fresh rosemary sprigs, place 1-2 sprigs in the shaker and gently muddle them to release their flavor before adding the other ingredients. 3. Serve: Fill a glass with ice and strain the mixture into the glass over the ice. 4. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. For our final drink, we have my favorite, the cran-whiskey. This drink is super simple to make, and might even stick to your cocktail menu full- time.

1 teaspoon powdered sugar frosting and sprinkles for rim (optional) Instructions: 1. Prepare the Glass (Optional): If you want to rim your cup with frosting and sprinkles, start by applying a thin layer of frosting around the rim of a martini glass. Dip the frosted rim into a plate of sprinkles to coat it evenly. 2. Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine 1.5 oz of vanilla vodka, 1.5 oz of Irish cream, 2 oz of milk, 1 oz of amaretto, and 1 tsp of powdered sugar. Feel free to omit the powdered sugar if needed. 3. Shake Well: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well combined and chilled. 4. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared cup. Is this drink insane, yes. Will it taste amazing, also yes. This is the most complex recipe, and might be the most niche, but it screams "holiday season" the loudest!

brewing 6 oz of hot coffee. Or... if your center has a coffee maker, just brew a pot before league starts to prep.

2. Mix the Ingredients: In a

heatproof cup (styrofoam cup), combine 2 oz of Irish cream and 1 oz of Irish whiskey. 3. Add the Coffee: Pour the hot coffee into the cup with the Irish cream and whiskey mixture, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients. 4. Top with Whipped Cream: By customer request, add whipped cream and cinnamon on top for an extra touch of indulgence. This warm cocktail will be perfect for senior leagues, when coffee is most likely already being brewed, and for super chilly league nights.
