CHRISTMAS! You know what that means, don’t you? School’s almost out! Ha ha! I’ve been baking up a storm and decorating ornaments with my kiddos and that means Mama needs a new Happy Hour Cocktail! 😉 I whipped this little beauty up with items already in my pantry so you know it’s EASY! It’s also beautifully festive and cheerful. Check out my Berry Rum Fizz!

All you need is:

  • Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
  • Cranberry juice, I used a blend of cranberry, blackberry, and blueberry. Gotta get those antioxidants in! 😉
  • Ginger ale or Ginger beer. I had Cranberry Ginger ale which made it even more festive!
  • A couple of cranberries for decoration, totally optional though!

In a glass full of ice, add a shot (one ounce) of the rum. I really like spiced rum, especially this time of year. The spiced flavor is very warming and delicious! Add two shots (two ounces) of the cranberry/berry juice.

Top with another two shots or two ounces of your ginger ale. I love the tartness of this cranberry ginger ale. It’s so different! Ginger beer would also be great to cut through the sweetness of the juice. Give it a stir and top with a few cranberries, if desired. So tasty!

The spiced rum with the cranberry and berry flavors are pair deliciously with the holidays. Plus, it’s pretty! 😉

You can easily make this Berry Rum Fizz into a party punch! Simply keep your 1:2:2 ratio of rum, juice, and ginger ale. For example, add to your punchbowl or pitcher, 2 cups of juice, 2 cups of ginger ale and 1 cup of rum. If that’s too strong, start with 1/2 cup of rum and adjust to your liking! You could also keep the rum separate so it’s a punch of everyone at the party to enjoy! So easy!

You can even freeze the cranberries into the ice cubes or use the frozen berries as ice cubes! A nice little holiday touch for your guests.

]]> Apple Ginger Whiskey https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/apple-ginger-whiskey/ Thu, 21 Sep 2017 14:34:54 +0000 http://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/?p=19429 It is almost Friday and that means it’s time for another Happy Hour! I have so much fun with these drinks. It’s almost OFFICIALLY Fall y’all and I am so excited! I love the cooler weather, the changing of the leaves and all of the Fall spices. One of my favorite Fall flavors has got to be apple cider, so I decided to make a little drinky-drink using it! With just 3 ingredients, the Apple Ginger Whiskey is sure to be a Fall favorite in your household too! Try it today!

Apple Ginger Whiskey 

  • Jack Daniel’s or your favorite whiskey or bourbon
  • Schweppes Ginger Ale (or ginger beer for a more gingery bite)
  • Apple Cider

I used a 2:2:1 ratio so you can make it by the glass or pitcher. Thinly sliced apples make a beautiful garnish, if desired. I used a mandoline slicer to keep them thin and beautiful. I love the little star that the core makes when you slice them like this!

Simply fill your glass with ice and add 1 shot of Jack, 2 shots of apple cider, and 2 shots of ginger ale. Stir and garnish. The sweetness of the apple cider and bubbly ginger ale pair perfectly with the smoothness of the Jack Daniel’s.

It’s a great drink for warming up at the end of the day around a bonfire or just enjoying with friends! I hope you have a chance to try it this weekend! I bet it would be amazing as a hot drink as well, just leave out the ginger ale!
