Mini Creamsicle Cocktails

A creamsicle cocktail is a sweet, creamy, and nostalgic drink that combines the flavors of orange and vanilla in an adult beverage. The core ingredients are typically vodka (often vanilla or whipped cream flavored), orange juice (or orange soda), and whipped cream (or half-and-half, ice cream, or orange sherbet).

The Cosmopolitan, a classic and vibrant pink cocktail, is made with citrus vodka, orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec), cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. It gained significant popularity in the 1990s, partly due to its frequent appearance on the TV show Sex and the City.

Tales of the Traveling Tote

It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news that our dear friend Jenna, from The Painted Apron, has passed away.  We will miss her blog posts where she shared her art work and painting tutorials, scrumptious recipes, creative and lovely tablescapes, stories about her beautiful grandchildren and family and especially her friendship!  Heaven now has a sweet angel and may she watch over our travels.
