Can you make this shead of time?
I haven’t tried making them ahead of time, only just before serving.
I’m buying the ingredients and will make Christmas Day.
I don’t like super sweet drinks. How would you modify this to be a little less sweet? Thanks!
The sugar cookie coffee creamer is the sweetest ingredient, but also necessary to give the cocktail the cookie flavor. You could cut the amount of the creamer and substitute with more half and half but the sugar cookie flavor wouldn’t be as strong then.
what if you can’t find the coffee creamer? any substitutes?
You can try this DIY sugar cookie coffee creamer recipe. If you do decide to give the cocktail a try with the homemade creamer please let us know how it comes out. Enjoy!
