Amaretto Cranberry Spice Cocktail is a delicious sweet almond flavor cocktail. I love this cocktail, I will be enjoying it all throughout the season.
Last week we were in Miami for our Anniversary and we went to some fun and swanky places for dinner. One thing I always like to do at a new restaurant is check out their cocktail menu.
All those swanky places seem to always have fun and creative cockail recipes, with crazy names made with homemade syrups.
I usually try to pick something not too sweet, or strong {I am a bit of an alchol wimp}. I tried a lot of fun drinks wrote down a ffew recipes, bartenders like to share, they always seem to be pretty excited when I ask about their special mixes. One extremly chatty bartender asked why I was so interested in his special syrup and when I told him I had a blog, he became even more chatty and asked what the last cocktail I shared on the blog. I told him that this cocktail was going live next weekend, so he mixed it up per my instructions, and made one for me and himself. He was pretty impressed with this little ol’ blogging girl.
This is definitely my new fall cocktail favorite, I was so shocked at how the amaretto and cranberry made such a snappy mix. I HIGHLY recommend the cinnamon and sugar rim for this drink, it isn’t the same without it.
