Drink of the Week: Oatmeal Cookie Cocktail

Oatmeal Cookie Cocktail Recipe coming up!

Since we are celebrating "Eat What You Want Day" today, I decided to give out a recipe for a cocktail that is inspired by foodstuff. Thus, our Drink of the Week is called the Oatmeal Cookie Cocktail. It is really easy to make, and is really comforting, just like an oatmeal cookie. Here is the recipe and the instructions:

In a shaker, combine:

• 1 oz of Bailey's Cream
• 1 oz of Butterscotch (or Butterscotch flavored Cream Liqueur)
• 1 oz of Goldschlager (If you are from Davao, you may grab some at The Brewery)

Shake with ice until it is cold and then strain the drink over your glass of choice.

You will definitely LOVE this cocktail

XOXO
