It’s more than just alliteration; it’s a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too.
Last week we shared Alie and Georgia’s quirky Peanut Butter and Jealous Cocktail; this week we’re back with a sip suited for winter’s chill.
Dulce de leche is not-so-secretly one of our favorite Latin flavors. Coveted for its silky texture, sweet taste and starring role in indulgent desserts (like these cookie sandwiches), it’s the perfect remedy for sweet tooths and stress-filled days. But rather than digging into a syrup-topped sundae, get your fix with a dulce de leche-infused drink. Made with rich coffee and espresso liqueur, thickened with half and half and balanced with agave nectar and vanilla citrus liqueur, the Dulce de Leche Coffee Cocktail is exactly the sort of sip you want to savor this time of year.
Bottoms up, folks.

I find as I get older, my short term memnory is very short termed. I love the crock pot because I don't have to remember to watch it. So anything that needs to simmer for a long time goes in mine. A favorite is oxtails with onions and lemons. It is sweet, sour and sticky good.
