4 FAST & EASY HOLIDAY DRINK IDEAS || Jack Frosty Cocktail, Non-Alcoholic Snow Punch, & More!

Hi everyone, welcome or welcome back to my channel. My name is Brenda and for today's video we're going to be doing four delicious and super easy to do holiday drink ideas. I really hope that you guys enjoy these. I tried them all and they were amazing so I hope you guys like them as well. But anyways if you are new here don't forget to hit that subscribe button and let's go ahead and hop right into it. So the first drink that we're going to be trying today is a Jack Frosty cocktail. This is going to be for my alcohol drinkers but definitely for someone that maybe doesn't like that strong alcohol taste this is going to be perfect for you. So the ingredients that you're going to need is vodka, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, blue curacao, coconut and corn syrup for rimming of the glass. I do want to keep this video fairly simple and very visual so if you are looking for the actual measurements you can find those in the description of this video and that way you can just screenshot it or just pull it up on your ipad or whatnot when you're ready to make this drink. So like I mentioned earlier these drinks are super easy to make and anybody can make these even if you're not a professional bartender. Obviously I'm not one of them. So what you're going to do is you're going to add everything into the blender and blend everything. It's going to turn into this beautiful like I don't even know Caribbean blue color. It is so pretty and honestly just looks so exotic and wintry. So you're just going to go ahead and add everything into the blender. So for the cup itself I basically just grabbed some corn syrup and I went ahead and added that to the rim of my glass and this basically just makes it really easy to add the coconut flakes to the rim without it falling off. And then last but not least once your drink is blended you go ahead and add that to the cup and that is it. You can add any garnishments that you like. I added some more coconut and then I also added some cranberries to that and that's pretty much it and it turned out amazing. It is so delicious. It barely has any hint of alcohol in there and honestly the perfect drink for anybody. Obviously not kids but for any adult it is the perfect drink. Moving on to the second drink. This is a non-alcoholic holiday punch. I like to call it a snow punch because it looks like snow and basically this drink is perfect for all Christmas parties, for all family members, even kids. So definitely make sure you guys write this down if you are hosting a party soon that involves kids or you just want something very easy to make that is also very very delicious. So for this recipe you're going to go ahead and add lemon juice to your blender cup then you're going to add bananas and you're going to add sugar. You're going to blend it all together and then once that's blended then you're going to add your half and half to that and blend it as well. And once that's blended you're going to go ahead and place that in the fridge for up to an hour and while I'm waiting on that I went ahead and crushed some peppermint. So basically I just got a candy cane and I put it in a Ziploc bag and broke it apart with just this little wooden handle that I had from my kitchen and it was just an easy way to make little peppermint flakes. So I decided to do a wine glass for this specific drink because it just looked very fancy and instead of using corn syrup for the rim this time I actually used vanilla frosting and it's also really delicious and I think it's perfect for the kids instead of corn syrup. So I just added that and then I also added the little peppermint flakes that I made and then once that drink has been in the fridge for an hour then you're gonna go ahead and pull it out and I added a cup of 7-Up to that and mixed it together. Once that's mixed you're gonna go ahead and add it into your glass and then you top it off with vanilla ice cream. I did two scoops I believe and then I just finished topping it off with the rest of the drink. And that is it for this drink. Super easy to make. It tastes so delicious. You can even add more 7-Up if you'd like if you wanted to taste a little bit more spritzy if that makes sense but I like mine to be more like a warm almost smoothie type of taste so I only opted for one cup of soda but you can add more if you desire. Moving on to the third drink. So this one I've done last year and the year prior to that. So this is the most easiest recipe you could do. So I just added three cups of whole milk and then I actually lost the footage for this little section but I added one cup of white chocolate chips and this one is basically caffeine free. White chocolate does not have caffeine in it so this is perfect for anyone that doesn't like caffeine or just can't have it. So basically you just add that together and then you put it in a pot and don't let it boil because then it'll it'll burn the chocolate so just let it get to you know a heating point and then turn it off. And then basically that's pretty much it. You add it into your cup. I added some marshmallows as well. Topped it off with some cinnamon and just a little candy cane and it is so delicious. You could even add more chocolate if you wanted to be a little bit more chocolatey as well. And moving on to the final recipe. So this recipe is definitely for my people that like alcohol or at least like strong alcohol like whiskey. This is the one for you. I tried it. It was delicious. Definitely not something that I would drink on the daily basis because it is very very strong but it's so delicious. So for this one we're going to be doing a peppermint white russian. So it looks beautiful as well. You could do so many things with these. There's so many different white russian recipes that you could do as well but anyways this is going to be my version. So what you're going to need, there really isn't a specific measurement to it but just depending on how much you want to make that's kind of what you go off of. So you're going to need one part vodka, one part Kahlua, one part half and half and then a dash of peppermint. You're gonna need one candy cane that's crushed and then chocolate syrup for the rim of the glass. And basically what you do for this is literally mix everything together. So you're going to mix in the vodka, the Kahlua, add the ice and then you're going to top it off with half and half after you've done the rim and everything and that's it. And it is so delicious. Seriously you guys it is so good. Really really strong but it is very very good. So anyways that is it for today's video. Definitely let me know which one you're going to be trying for the holidays or if you've already tried this before definitely let me know which one's your favorite. And anyways I hope you guys enjoyed today's video and happy holidays to all of you. I'll see you next time. Bye!
