Roasting in the Snow

Icy winter cocktail with holiday flavors and roasted marshmallows :)

I love, love love this cocktail! If you are in a sweet cocktail mood.. this is delicious! This drink is very festive and gives off warm homey vibes by the fire. I personally was trying to make a completely different drink with tequila (funnily enough) and ended up making this delightful bourbon creation that was way better anyways. This cocktail has flavors of coconut, cinnamon, bourbon, nutmeg and marshmallow. I loved making the mini sugar roasted marshmallows as a garnish too. Then eating them with the cocktail really tied in all the flavors and made it a nice little snack with the drink ;)
