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.
