Paper Straws and Organic Cocktails for Cooler Weather Part 2:Winter

Last time I shared with you some wonderfully weird Fall and Halloween recipes, using our colored paper straws. I hope you enjoyed those and now I am back with some awesome wintertime treats!

Winter Warmers?

Who says winter drinks have to be steaming? Weddings and parties are hot affairs especially when dancing is involved. If you live in any of the southern states or are simply looking for a unique twist on winter cocktails, you’ll love these next two cool winter suggestions.

North Pole Blizzards

The first is a riff on the famous Serendipity frozen white hot chocolate. I call it North Pole Blizzards. Picture everything that is good, chocolaty and creamy in the world and you have this drink. I’ve modified it to be organic and “grown-ups only”, which makes this yummy treat even better! Pairing it with our red and white striped straw gives it that perfect “North Pole” accent.

Frostbite

I’ve always said there are not enough blue drinks in this world. =o) That goes double in the winter months! Let me introduce you to the Frostbite, a pale blue, frosty, fruity drink with a bite of organic tequila. It is that perfect ice blue color so popular in winter month weddings. Finish off this cool cocktail with a blue or grey paper straw and a white rock candy swizzle stick for that icy pop to your event. There you have it, folks.

Fantastic fall & wonderful winter drinks and treats for your next eco-friendly soiree. All that’s left for you to do invite your friends! Remember, regardless of which cocktail or grown up treat you end up serving, Ecopartytime has paper straws to fit all color schemes and party themes. Stock up today! Until next time, my party people, I wish you “Love, Laughter & Happily Ever After. . .”
