I can’t believe we are less than a month out from Christmas. With Thanksgiving behind us, I have holiday party season on my mind. I can’t wait to throw our first party at the new house, and I’ve already started brainstorming our menu and decor (thinking a winter white wonderland is a must).
I stopped by Target last weekend to pick up a few party essentials, and although I may or may not have left with a few other goodies (don’t tell B), I was still able to get everything I needed to make one of my favorite festive holiday cocktails: The Whiskey & Coke Slushie.
One of Brandon’s favorite drink orders is a Whiskey & Coke. My dad is also a pretty big fan, so when B and I threw our holiday dinner party last year, I decided to adapt their favorite cocktail for something a little more festive. The secret ingredients? Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and frozen cherries.
If you haven’t had Coke Zero Sugar, get ready for your life to be changed. Seriously, run to Target and get some ASAP. I am obsessed with the taste, and I keep a case of the mini cans in my refrigerator at all times—they’re perfect for making cocktails or grabbing a quick drink out the door. When combined with the subtle cherry flavor and smooth whiskey finish, well, get ready for a little holiday cheer in a cup.
