Kahlua Holiday Party Hostess Gifts
Let's talk hostess gifts for a moment... With the numerous holiday gatherings and parties this season, having a stash of hostess gifts on hand can be a real sanity saver. But what can you stock up on that would be a good fit for all occasions?
A bottle of wine seems like a safe choice — but then you have to consider what's on the menu and/or whether or not the recipient prefers red or white wine. I have enough trouble choosing a wine to drink for myself with so many options, let alone for someone else...
Limited Edition Kahlua Flavors
Why not consider a bottle of Kahlúa instead? You're sure to easily find a flavor that suits any occasion.
Choose from Original, Cinnamon Spice, French Vanilla, Mocha, Hazelnut, and Especial, plus limited edition holiday flavors are available in Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint Mocha.
The Best Holiday Espresso Martini
You should definitely try the Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha flavor while it's available — it's perfect for serving over the holidays! It's ideal for making the most delicious peppermint espresso martini cocktail, and you won't believe how simple it is to make.
Just combine Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha and your favorite vodka with a shot of fresh brewed espresso. Shake with ice and pour!
To complement the holiday espresso martini vibe, I garnished the rims of the martini glasses with some crushed peppermint candies. It's the perfect little festive touch!
