To kick off the weekend, here's a delicious cocktail inspired by the traditional southern side dish known as ambrosia. Are there any ambrosia lovers out there? Ambrosia is a traditional and simple southern side dish consisting of oranges and fresh coconut. Some may "dress up" their ambrosia with pineapple, marshmallow or cherries but it's really just a matter of personal preference. I've never met an ambrosia I didn't like and couldn't resist blending these flavors into a Christmas cocktail that's both sweet and southern.
Cheers to the Weekend!

That looks so good and refreshing! Where did you get the cocktail picks? I searched high and low for some good ones last weekend and couldn't find anything!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany! We've had those picks forever and I'm sorry I can't remember where we got them. If I come across anything similar, I'll let you know. Try Homegoods in the meantime...They always have odd little things like that.

I love ambrosia!!! This sounds delish and something I might have to try for Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that this year Christmas seems to be getting here a bit too fast for me. I think the fact that it falls on Tuesday has me kind of messed up and feel like I really have to have everything done by this coming Friday because of activities going on this weekend.
Merry Christmas and do take care of yourself!!!!
