Happy New Year, Darlings!
By: Courtne
We're celebrating with a cocktail, of course. Though it's called Midnight Milk Punch, it's almost a perfect breakfast cocktail, and we know you may need a bit of hair of the dog after a glorious night of celebrating.
Just swap brandy for rum, and we'll make the waffles.
Midnight Milk Punch
Serves 3
Ingredients:
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 pinches cinnamon, plus more for garnish
• 1 heaping tablespoon of caramel sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1.5 ounces brandy
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan over a medium flame, heat milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, caramel sauce, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir on and off to help dissolve the caramel. Keep on the heat for just a few minutes so you don’t scald the milk. Once the caramel is dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and let cool a few minutes.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the brandy and pour over the slightly cooled milk mixture. Cover and shake, shake, shake until a bit frothy. Pour into small glasses (about 4 ounces) and add an extra pinch of cinnamon to each for garnish.
