Blended Dessert Cocktails - 2 of my absolute faves!

In today’s video I’m showing you two blended dessert cocktails that’ll knock your socks off! The Pink Squirrel and the Grasshopper - yep, these are ice cream drinks! Though the original Grasshopper didn’t call for ice cream, it later became a match made in heaven (actually it was Wisconsin). Both of these cocktails earned cult status in supper clubs scattered across Wisconsin - which happens to be my home state! Seeing I can’t be back home this holiday season, I’m bringing Wisconsin to me. Please enjoy these responsibly - these go down very easily!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all! Cheers!
