whipped cream vodka 101

As a dessert blogger, I realize that I should probably be providing some recipes for the 4^th, chock full of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, some sponge cake and a bucket of whipped cream. But I’m not going to do that. Here’s why:

1. It’s a holiday weekend and we should all be getting our drink on. Not our baking. It’s hot and ovens should stay off.
2. I’m going to give you some drink recipes using whipped cream vodka. So it’s a little festive, you know?

A little background…For my bridal shower, I received a bucket full of liquors and drink mixers from a new cousin. Basically, the best gift ever. However, a bottle of whipped cream vodka lies in the bucket still because I have no idea what to do with it. When cocktail time rolls around, I tend to stick to more basic drinks… a beer, vodka soda, maybe a dirty martini when I’m feeling frisky. But alas, the whipped cream vodka sits alone in the bucket and I’m on a mission to drink it down this weekend.

what to do with you, friend.....

With some help from the Pinnacle website, I’ve narrowed it down to a few winners. (because is there a better drink name than a “Woo Hoo”? I think not…)
