Common misconception of summer cocktails = They have to be fruity

Thankfully, we’ve got professionals like Carmaleita Lyght from Lyght House Cocktails who can set the record straight with such straw’s-just-in-the-way sweet drinks that we can’t help but pass up, and pass along the recipe.

Today’s gem? Fill up your cup with a Caramel Coffee Frostini

Start with 4-6 oz. brewed coffee… Add in an ounce and a half of some good ole Irish cream, a pinch of sugar and a cup full of ice. Throw all these goodies into the blender and let the magic come together. You know it’s ready for drinking when you’ve got a smooth and creamy concoction on your hands. Make it pretty with a drizzle of caramel and a dash of freshly grated cinnamon. Sip. Enjoy.

I swear to you that a day does not pass where I am not floored, awed or inspired by one (or, in this case several) of our StudioWed vendors. From the level of creativity they possess to the capacity for ingenuity that they constantly display, it’s never short of amazing and I feel lucky enough to have experienced just the teensiest part of it for my own wedding.
