    Angry Balls

    Since we aren’t able to use our season tickets for the Minnesota Twins games, we decided to host a backyard viewing party for a small group of friends who share our tickets. We served baseball food: hot dogs, brats, potato chips, peanuts and cracker jacks.

    Baseball Snacks
    One of our guests brought these amazing sugar cookies from Icing Art by Mary Bolger.

    For cocktails we drank beer and…

    Angry Balls

    12 oz of Angry Orchard hard cider

    1+ shot Fireball (we store our bottle in the freezer)

    If you have a frosty glass, use it. If you want to add a few ice cubes, do it.

    This tastes like cinnamon apple cider.

    Cheers!

    Fire & Cider

    For a chilly Fall evening, try this easy warmer upper.

    10 oz hot apple cider

    2 oz Fireball Cinnamon Whisky

    Optional:

    Caramel sauce

    Cinnamon stick garnish

    Pour hot cider in a mug, add Fireball. If it’s not sweet enough, warm up some caramel syrup and drizzle a little in your drink. Stir. If you want to be fancy, garnish with a cinnamon stick.

    Stay warm!
