Beauty And The Beast

Hello Hello!!  I sure wish I could have posted more cocktails for the upcoming holiday lately.  I am not "quite" sure what happened to the few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Thanksgiving came later this year, which I think screwed up a lot of us "time wise".  I still think that there is one more week between now and Christmas, but every time I look at the calendar it tells me otherwise........huh, go figure.

I had bought a bottle of Bailey's Vanilla Cinnamon flavor a while ago and have been walking past it on the bar ever since......swearing that I would be making a cocktail with it "very soon".  Today is FINALLY that day.  I found today's (notice I'm not saying tonight's?  Yea it's been an INSANELY CRAZY week) recipe at parkplaceleawood and decided to try it......not to mention that Beauty and the Beast is one of my favoritest Disney movies ever!

This is a pretty yummy shooter.  The peppermint gives you a nice bite and then the Baileys takes that bite away and coats your mouth with a wonderful taste.  This shooter is one I would recommend you making at holiday gatherings....or regular gatherings......or just by yourself?  Whatever works really.

Here is the recipe for a Beauty And The Beast:

• 1 ounce Bailey's Vanilla Cinnamon
• 1/2 ounce peppermint schnapps

In a shaker, add ice and both ingredients above.  Shake and strain into a shot glass and enjoy!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here's to only having 5 days left until Christmas!  Yikes!!

Cheers!!
