Cheers to a new year!


Bottoms up! With these delicious mocktails, even the children can join in on the festivities.

Mint Chocolate Mocktail 
Ingredients:
2 oz. of your favorite mint chocolate ice cream
1 oz. coconut cream
Large handful of crushed ice

Rim a martini glass with chocolate syrup: On a small flat plate, pour 1-2 oz of the syrup. Holding the glass parallel to the table, dab the rim of your glass into the liquid while slowly turning the glass so that only the outer edge is covered. Then combine the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour into your already-rimmed glass and serve!
