Barefoot Mistletoe Cosmo

Posted on December 19, 2012 | Leave a comment

Cosmopolitan cocktails were once all the rage when sipped by celebrities and glamorized in Girls Night Out settings in popular television shows. They received not so pleasant reviews by trendy mixologists and cocktail bars when they became so common every cocktail menu in the country listed a Cosmo as signature drink. They were often sloppily made, sugary and cotton candy pink. However, the Cosmo is a contemporary classic that has remained a cocktail favorite of many; myself included.

Every fabulous classic cocktail and contemporary classic inspires a new generation of cocktails. With wine cocktails rising in popularity it just makes sense to spin a new favorite to sample and enjoy. After all, the whole concept of cocktails and happy hour is having fun with good friends and good spirits. Enjoy a happy holiday season!

O Boy Berries & Cream – recipe and photo by Mixologist Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

Even without the whipped cream garnish this Mocktail recipe turns out heavenly with its frothy, creamy base that is strawberry fruity delicious without being over the top sweet. Boysenberry syrup gives the Oh Boy! Berries & Cream Mocktail a hint of sweet with layer of lush flavor it needs for beauty, color and richness. When strawberries are not in seasons and the fruit lends itself to a little more tart than sweet, add a smidge more boysenberry syrup to dial up the flavor and keep this Mocktail an ‘Oh Boy!’ treat year round.
