Holiday Drink Ideas!🥂

In this video I'm testing a couple of festive drinks from the Mocktail Party recipe book. We're going to start with a pumpkin pie mocktini. The first thing to do is room the glasses in some maple syrup and some chopped walnuts. It also says you could use some crushed graham crackers if you'd like a nut-free version. For the drink you'll need one and a half cups of your choice of milk. I used oat. Two-thirds cup of pumpkin puree. Three pitted dates to add sweetness. One teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. A half teaspoon of vanilla. And a pinch of salt. Throw all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until the dates are evenly distributed. Transfer to the fridge to chill for a while. I thought a maple cinnamon whipped cream would go perfectly with this, so in a bowl I just combined some heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, a splash of maple syrup, and a dash of cinnamon. Make sure to not whip your heavy cream too long or else you'll end up with some homemade butter. It's now time to assemble. The best way I can describe the consistency is kind of like a pumpkin pie smoothie. It definitely feels like you're drinking a dessert. I topped it with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to finish it all off. I think this would be super cute to serve at a Thanksgiving or Christmas party. The second drink we're trying is the red sansgria. Again, I halved this recipe so it's going to make three servings. We'll need half a lemon, half a lime. This is the most massive lime I've ever seen in my life. Half of an orange, half of an apple, one and a fourth cup of pomegranate juice, as well as one and a fourth cup of coconut water, and then a half cup of fresh orange juice and two tablespoons of fresh lime juice. First, thinly slice the lemon, lime, apple, and orange. Muddle together the lemon, lime, and orange slices. Then just combine everything together in a large jar or a pitcher. Overall, I would give these mocktails a 6 out of 10. They were definitely good, I just wasn't wowed by either of them. One of my favorite hobbies is making new mocktail recipes, so I'm excited to test some more from this book.
