Cinna-sugar white hot chocolate

Cinna-sugar white hot chocolate

I finally got the chance to experiment with the new Cinna-sugar vodka after fighting off the flu over the holidays. The first thing I mixed up was this rich and decadent white hot chocolate and let me say, it is divine! I can see myself drinking these fireside all winter long. The homemade hot chocolate mix takes a few extra minutes of effort but it's well worth it. The end result is spectacular! Happy winter Smirnoff friends. http://www.yoursouthernpeach.com/

What's Better than Skiing?

What's Better than Skiing?

Have you hit the slopes yet this winter? Depending on your location, this may be a quick drive or a long flight away. There’s no question that you deserve a winter getaway, but if you need some more persuading to willingly jump into the cold, think about the REAL reason people enjoy skiing – après-ski of course! Après-ski is the gathering of friends after a thrilling and chilly day on the mountain where friends, both old and new, join to defrost, dance, and of course, enjoy delicious cocktails and food. It’s the ultimate relaxing reward after a long day. For those that can’t break away from the day-to-day, you can still join in on the après-ski fun at home. Invite your friends over for a themed winter wonderland party and...Read More

Hi ladies! Have I got something super exciting for y’all today.
