Campfire Cream (For When the Midwest Gets Ridiculous)

You know those brutal Midwest winter nights when it's so cold you question every life decision that keeps you here? When the wind chill is somewhere between "unpleasant" and "personally offensive"? This is the drink that makes it all worthwhile. Grab your friends, your family, and possibly that one neighbor who always shows up uninvited, because the Campfire Cream turns freezing temperatures into an excuse to gather around and drink something that tastes like childhood memories with a grown-up upgrade.

What You Need:

• A cocktail shaker

• 2 oz. Confessions of a Chocoholic (our milk chocolate whiskey doing the heavy lifting)

• 2 oz. S'mores syrup

• 2 oz. Cold brew coffee (keeping everyone awake for good conversation)

• 1 oz. Bourbon cream (the warmth you actually need)

• Toasted bourbon marshmallow from our friends at Geeky Goodies Bakery (the crowning glory)

What You Do:

1. Fill your shaker with ice and combine our Confections of a Chocoholic whiskey, s'mores syrup, cold brew, and bourbon cream. Yes, it's a lot. Yes, you need all of it when it's this cold outside.

2. Shake it up until everything's properly mingled and ready to warm some souls.

3. Strain into a cup with no ice – we're not trying to make things colder here.

4. Top with a toasted bourbon marshmallow from Geeky Goodies Bakery. It's the difference between a good drink and the drink everyone's still talking about at Easter.

   
   

This is the kind of cocktail that makes people forget they have to shovel the driveway tomorrow. It's s'mores by the fire, coffee to keep the party going, and enough whiskey to make everyone glad they braved the cold to show up. Pour a round, settle into those conversations that only happen when it's too cold to leave, and remind yourself why Midwest winters with the right people and the right drinks aren't so bad after all.
