Spiked Coconut Vanilla Steamer
This Spiked Coconut Vanilla Steamer is one of the coziest winter cocktails you’ll ever have!
It’s been snowing here the last few days and I continuously find myself shivering because we still haven’t reprogrammed our thermostat to account for me being home during the day. I’m usually so consumed in my work that I forget to turn the heat up until my blue lips remind me… okay, I’m being a little extreme, it doesn’t get below 60 degrees.
But it’s still cold and the howling wind doesn’t help things, but winter cocktails sure do! This one, in particular, has all kinds of warmth to it from the vanilla bean simmered in frothy hot milk laced with coconut to the spiced rum it’s spiked with! And I just love using my new frother, this thing is only $6.99 and it’s awesome!
Seriously, though, you won’t be sure if you’re snuggled up by the fire or if you’re soaking up the sun in the Caribbean. Okay, well, one of those is a litter more likely and in all reality, if you’re like me, you’re probably huddled over the furnace vent with a blanket wrapped over you. Either way, I think you will thoroughly enjoy this cocktail!

In your recipe, I am assuming that you mean
cups, for milk, right? It just about has to be, but
as with any new recipe, you always want to be
certain.
(1 1/2 whole milk)
