Inspired by some of your favorite fall flavors, these 12 Cozy Cocktails for Fall will keep you feeling warm & fuzzy all season long.






'Twas the day before Thanksgiving & I don't know about you all, but I could certainly use a drink. ;) Both of the kiddos have been home from school since last Friday. 




Moments of peace & quiet and a little me time have been very few & far between. And don't get me started on the constant snack requests from the 6 year old & the extra laundry from the college sophomore...




That is why I have already made plans to cozy up with a tasty cocktail tomorrow evening after all of the craziness of Thanksgiving dinner is over. 




As soon as the leftovers have been put away, I have a date with my couch, a comfy throw, Netflix, & one of these 12 cozy cocktails for fall that I am sharing with you all today. Who's with me?




All of the cocktail recipes below are inspired by some of your favorite fall flavors- pomegranate, chai, apple, pumpkin, pears, cranberries. 




Whether you are looking for the perfect after Thanksgiving dinner cocktail to serve with a slice of pie or maybe a little something you can sip on while doing that Black Friday shopping online, I got you covered with today's recipe collection... ;)

From dreamy cocktails to booze infused desserts to a decadent breakfast recipe, you will have the bases covered for your St. Patrick's Day celebration with these 17 Boozy Recipes Using Baileys Irish Cream.








I think by now that it is no big secret to you all that I love me some Baileys Irish Cream. ;) I love adding a splash of it to my coffee or hot cocoa on a cold winter night or drinking it straight over ice after a particularly long day. 





And I always seem to find a way to sneak a little Baileys into some of my dessert recipes & boozy concoctions for the blog. It is smooth and creamy and pairs perfectly with everything from chocolate to caramel to coffee.





Of course, one of my first experiences with Baileys is when I was challenged to do an Irish Car Bomb on one particular St. Patrick's Day some years ago. Let's just say that is NOT my favorite way to enjoy a little Baileys Irish Cream. ;) 





I am not much for chugging, and that is a drink that must be chugged. If you have ever happened to have had one, then I think you will know exactly what it is that I am talking about. 





While I am a fan of Baileys all year round, I especially get excited about Irish cream as we near closer to St. Patrick's Day. And with St. Patrick's Day just a couple of days away, I decided to scour some of my favorite food bloggers' sites to find the best Baileys spiked recipes to share with you all.

12 Game Day Ready Cocktails

Forget the usual six packs! Quench your thirst while watching the big game with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails...



Forget the usual six packs! Quench your thirst while watching the big game with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails.







I may not be into football as much I used to be, but I do know one thing- there are some pretty big games on this weekend. ;)  From the NFL playoff games to the NCAA National Championship game on Monday, this weekend was made for football, folks.  





And while I do not have any teams near and dear to my heart playing this weekend (my husband's beloved Steelers have already been knocked out), I have a feeling that my home will still end up being all football all weekend. 





Not that I am complaining. As long as we are serving tasty food and good drinks, I don't care which teams are playing or who's winning. 
Who's with me on this one? ;)





I think everyone always think of the game day food. They search their favorite food blogs and Pinterest for recipes in advance, make a plan with the other party guests to see who is bringing what, and so on. But how about those game day sips?   





Don't just pick up a couple of six packs this weekend!  Instead make watching that big game fun and thirst quenching with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails from some of my favorite food bloggers... ;)
