Colorado Bulldog AKA CBD

I was recently asked about this drink we love called a Colorado Bulldog. These are perfect for warming you up on a cold fall or winter evening. It also goes well as a nightcap to your favorite holiday meal. I like to describe them as a White Russian with a splash of cola but just a little different. Oh, and I also actually went back and measured everything out to have accurate amounts for this recipe.

Serve in 1 pint Mason Jar, add in this order.

4-5 Ice Cubes
2 oz Vodka (Big jigger)
1.5 oz Coffee Liqueur (overflowed small jigger)
6 oz milk
2 oz cola

A side note, Steph likes Whipped Cream vodka, I think it makes it a bit sweet. Either way, it tastes a bit like chocolate milk. I also just had an amazing idea! You could add a little cinnamon and nutmeg to it or even sub out the milk for eggnog. Mmmmm, if it wasn't 9:30am I would have to try that right now.

Anyway, when made properly it will fill the mason jar perfectly to the 1 pint line. For those that don't know, this is the thin little line that runs around the jar just under the lid threads.

Chocolate Chip "Fresh Pumpkin" Bread

Chocolate Chip "Fresh Pumpkin" Bread (also with vegan substitution)



At the request of a friend I am finally writing up this recipe. This recipe has been floating around my recipe book on a piece of paper for over a year. That piece of paper spent all of last winter stuck to the side of the fridge. I easily made over 10 loaves of this bread last year.
