Making homemade Irish Cream for the holidays is a tradition in my family. My mom and sister always put it in their Christmas morning coffee. I prefer to drink it cold. A great addition to the cold version is coffee ice! Making ice cubes in advance from leftover coffee makes this special holiday beverage perfect! But then, a hint of coffee flavor makes many things perfect…think chocolate!
Making special ice cubes is a festive way to enjoy your favorite beverage on Christmas. Depending on your drink of choice, you can choose to add fruit or herbs to your ice as an alternative to making coffee ice. For the children’s beverages, try adding mini gummy bears or crushed candy canes to the ice! What child wouldn’t like to see some gummy bears…or worms!…floating in their juice!
Adding extra fun little details at the holidays is a great way to make the day special!
Using decorative ice cube trays is another festive idea. Ikea usually has some cute ones! Make little ice cube trees, angels, or other unusual shapes. There are also trays available that make ice shot glasses if shots are more your thing!
