rich dairy-free cocktails

I’ve been dabbling in cocktail drinks again, to get ready for the upcoming barbecue and summer party season. I’m not sure if these have names already, but if not, I’ve named them myself. :-)

I love Bailey’s and Kahlua and other rich liqueurs, but dairy is out of the question for me. These satisfy my sweet tooth once the bebe is down for the night. Enjoy!

Pirates’ Almond Joy

    • 2 oz. vodka
    • 1 oz. creme de cacao
    • 1 oz. Malibu Coconut Rum

Shake over ice & serve in shot glasses.

Butterfinger

    • 2 oz. vodka
    • 1 oz. creme de cacao
    • 1 oz. Buttershot

Shake over ice & serve in shot glasses.

And for those times when I want something fresh and fruity without the fuss:

Street Margarita

    • 2 oz. vodka
    • 2 oz. triple sec
    • 2 oz. fresh lime juice

Fill a old-fashioned or cocktail glass with crushed ice. Shake over ice and pour into glass. Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt on top.
