Amaretto Creme Brulee Fizz

Celebrate the New Year in style with this sophisticated Amaretto Creme Brulee Fizz.

I hope you enjoyed the holiday season as much as I did. You may have noticed that I took a little break from my blog over the last week or so, just to unwind from the stress of the season and spend some well deserved quality time with my little family. I pretty much un-plugged.

You see, this year I did not take time off from work — I usually take a week off, so when the holiday season was upon me, I was bustling around trying to get everything done for both my job and Christmas with my family.

Turns out I had a lovely time over Christmas, and I hope you did too. I baked up a storm for a brunch I hosted for my family and everything was devoured instantly including; Chili Cheese Eggs, Parmesan Hash Browns and Overnight French Toast, as well there was plenty of Chocolate Mousse, Almond Roca, Chocolate Sheet Cake with Peppermint-Vanilla Frosting, Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Homemade Amaretto.

Unfortunately, most of these scrumptious goodies were gobbled up so fast that I was not able to take any photos. Guess that means I need to make everything again that did not get snapped! But not to fret, the delectable things that did get their 15-seconds with my camera will get posted soon!

With that being said, can you believe that 2015 is here? I can’t! This year has gone by so incredibly fast for me, yet I have tried to enjoy each an every minute of this crazy year while hanging onto my family and friends for their unwavering love and support!

So if your year has been anything like mine, then it’s time to treat yourself today or throughout this New Year weekend to this truly tantalizing cocktail.

And best of all, it’s really so easy to make that you’ll be sitting by the fire enjoying this libation with your loved ones in no time.

With only 3 ingredients, you simply shake up some creme brulee infused coffee creamer along with sweet nutty amaretto and add a splash of sparkling lemon-lime soda and in just a few minutes you’ll be sipping on an elegant, frothy cocktail.
