Sweet Vanilla Drink Recipes From Our Weekend


Yes we are creatures of habit and as usual decided to get together Saturday night before going out on the town. This week we decided to create all of our drinks using vanilla flavored vodka. I have included some of our favorite recipes from the evening. Click on the drink photo above to visit the Absolute website & try some of the other recipes using vanilla vodka.
