As the weather gets cooler, or hotter, or whatever cause this is Louisiana, right?  Anyway, no matter what the temperature, we all can always go for a nice refreshing cocktail.  We love to make your lives easier, so we rounded up some of our favorites you can easily make at home. 

So, grab some friends or a mob, then hit the kitchen and stir up some of these little mixers.  Plus, don't forget to leave Santa a glass or two!

Got a favorite cocktail you want to share?  Let us know on our Contact page!  We'll try it, then share it!

Christmas Spirit Shooter








  • 1/2 ounce sour apple schnapps
  • 1/2 teaspoon grenadine
  • 3/4 ounce cinnamon schnapps with gold flakes (preferably Gold Strike brand)

Directions Pour the sour apple schnapps into a 1 1/2-ounce shot glass.

Gently pour in the grenadine. (It will sink to the bottom to make the red layer.)

Shake the bottle of cinnamon schnapps, then turn the bottle upside down to bring the gold flakes to the top. Measure out 3/4 ounce. Hold a small spoon upside down inside the glass, directly over the apple schnapps layer. Gently pour the cinnamon schnapps over the back of the spoon to make the third layer.
