Product Review - Not Your Father's Root Beer

Image
Microbreweries are popping up everywhere. They are innovative in their brands and make great beer. BUT, if you don't like beer, what do you drink? Not Your Father's Root Beer. Rhonda was having a conversation with a friend about drinking beer and this particular beer came up. It's brewed by the  Small Town Brewery of Wauconda, Illinois.

Who doesn't love a good cocktail? We girls have been trying cocktails recently and on our last Facebook LIVE we tried Caramel Apple Mimosas. Oh were they good!! If you are interested in trying this cocktail, here is the recipe... Ingredients 2 tbsp. Caramel 2 tbsp. cinnamon sugar 1 c. apple cider 8 oz. caramel vodka 1 bottle champagne Apple slices, for garnish Directions Pour caramel sauce into a small dish. In another small dish, pour cinnamon sugar. Dip champagne flutes into caramel to the rim of the glass, then dip in cinnamon sugar. Pour apple cider, and caramel vodka, and top with champagne into flutes. Garnish with an apple slice and serve. It would make a wonderful Thanksgiving drink. You can also make this a non-alcoholic drink by leaving out the vodka and champagne and substituting it with sparkling apple cider. We hope you try this drink and love it as much as we did. CHEERS!! Keep it sassy! Kelly ***UPDATED 11/12/24*** ************...
