Whipped Cream Vodka

Tried Pinnacle's new whipped cream vodka today because a new recipe was submitted at http://www.liquorlive.com/ it was called a creamsicle which happens to be my favorite ice cream treat. So, despite the fact that it's not my vodka of choice, I strayed from my typical absolut or goose to try it out, since it's the only brand to make this "whipped cream vodka". Anyway, so I tried the cocktail...the creamsicle and I was not disappointed. I do have to say that I changed up the quantities a bit by adding some extra orange juice. I'm thinking it'd be good with cream soda or hot cocoa too...any other whipped cream vodka suggestions you can think of?

Cold weather drinking

I'm not sure about where you live, but here in New England it's passed the days of cool, refreshing cocktails and onto finding anyway you can to warm up. For me, that means I'm looking for warm cocktails that suit the season. That's not always an easy task. Of course, Irish Coffee is always a crowd pleaser, but what else is there? Yes, Apple Toddy drinks are always good...What shall I mix with hot chocolate or even tea? I've found a few seasonal recipes at http://www.liquorlive.com/ that I'm excited to try, but I'm wondering...what warm cocktails are you drinking this season?
