Bailey’s freakshake
A freakshake, but as a cocktail. Could it be more fun? Brew espresso and let it cool for two hours in the fridge. In the meantime you are going to decorate the glass: dip the top in chocolate sauce and dip it in the sprinkles.

Pour the smooth mixture into a nice glass, add a scoop of ice, and squirt a mountain of whipped cream on your cocktail. Garnish your drink with a donut or brownie and drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. Cheers!
Cranberry Mojito
Cut a lime in quarters and put this together with 2 teaspoons of cane sugar in a long drink glass. Gently squeeze the juice from the lime and add 45 milliliters of rum.
Fill the Winter Cocktails with crushed ice and stir well. Now add 30 milliliters of cranberry juice and 15 milliliters of sparkling water, stir briefly, and garnish with mint. Delicious.
Dark Winter Cocktails
