These copycat recipes are designed to taste just like the real thing (or close enough that you won’t miss the drive-thru).

Why Make Copycat Starbucks At Home

Cost & Convenience
Homemade drinks cost a fraction of café prices and it is convenient to not have to leave your house. No lines, no waiting.

Customization
At home, you can swap ingredients (for dietary preferences), adjust strength, change milk or syrup, and often get fresher results. Adjust sweetness, milk type, or caffeine level.

Barista Vibe
There’s a certain fun in replicating a café favorite at home a sense of achievement and control. You’re not just consuming, you’re making.

What Is a Christmas Ornament Cocktail / Mocktail?

It’s a drink served inside a clear, food-safe plastic ornament. The filled ornament is placed inside (or over) a cocktail glass, where guests pop open the top and pour the drink themselves. A fun, interactive touch that creates a moment everybody remembers.

Tips for Perfect Ornament Cocktails

• Chill everything first so the drink stays cold once poured.
• Test ornaments ahead of time to ensure they don’t leak and are safe.
• Label ornaments if you’re serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions.
• Add edible glitter or gold flakes for a magical holiday shimmer.

More Festive Fun Christmas Recipes:

• Christmas Pretzel Wreaths
• Donut Christmas Tree
• Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Bombs
• Christmas Wreath Cheese Ball

Christmas ornament cocktails and mocktails are a beautiful, festive way to elevate your holiday gatherings. This Cranberry Punch version is bright, refreshing, and wonderfully seasonal. They look luxurious but come together quickly, making them perfect for both casual and formal celebrations.

Making eggnog from scratch might sound intimidating, but this slow cooker version makes it incredibly approachable. Rich, creamy, and full of spice, it’s a nostalgic holiday drink.

HOW TO MAKE EGGNOG IN A SLOW COOKER

• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until lightened in color and smooth. 
• Add the egg yolk mixture into your crock pot along with all the other ingredients. Stir to combine.  
• Cover and cook on low for 1 ½-2 hours stirring occasionally making sure it doesn’t get too hot. 
• Remove the lid when the eggnog is done, turn off heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. 
• Remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks. 
• Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. 

Why Use a Slow Cooker?

Using a slow cooker to make eggnog has several benefits:

• Hands-off cooking: No need to babysit the stove.
• Even heating: Reduces the risk of curdling or overcooking.
• Great for serving: You can keep it on “warm” during a party.

Storage Tips

Store leftover eggnog in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Shake or stir before serving, as natural separation may occur.

Safety Tip: Because eggnog contains dairy and eggs, don’t leave it out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Ingredients Needed For Homemade Eggnog

• 8 large egg yolks 
• ¾ cup granulated sugar 
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream 
• 2 cups milk
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg 
• 3-4 whole cloves 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1-2 cinnamon sticks 
• ¾-1 cup spiced rum, optional

Strawberry floats are a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. The recipe is simple, consisting of just a few ingredients: strawberries, sugar, soda and vanilla ice cream. A simple strawberry syrup is added to a glass and soda is poured over the ice cream, creating a sweet, creamy, and fizzy treat that’s perfect for a hot summer day.

One of the best things about strawberry floats is how customizable they are. You can adjust the amount of soda and ice cream to suit your personal preferences, and even add in extra ingredients to create new flavor combinations. Whether you’re a fan of classic strawberry floats or want to try something new, there’s no denying that this dessert is the perfect summer treat.

Tips for Making the Perfect Strawberry Float

While making a strawberry float may seem simple, there are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind to ensure that your dessert turns out perfectly. Here are some of my top tips for making the perfect strawberry float:

1. Use High-Quality Ingredients

The key to a delicious strawberry float is using high-quality ingredients. Look for ripe and juicy strawberries, and a high-quality vanilla ice cream. These ingredients will give your float a rich, creamy flavor that’s sure to impress.

2. Chill Your Ingredients

Before making your strawberry float, be sure to chill your homemade simple syrup, soda and ice cream in the refrigerator. This will help ensure that your float stays cold and doesn’t melt too quickly.

3. Add the Soda Slowly

When pouring the soda over the ice cream, be sure to do so slowly. This will help prevent the soda from overflowing and making a mess. Additionally, if you add the soda too quickly, it can cause the ice cream to melt too quickly, resulting in a watery float.

4. Experiment with Extra Ingredients

While classic strawberry floats are delicious on their own, you can also experiment with adding extra ingredients to create new flavor combinations. For example, you could add fresh blueberries on top for a sweet mixed berry treat.

Variations of the Classic Strawberry Float Recipe

If you’re looking to switch things up from the classic strawberry float recipe, there are plenty of variations to try out. Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Strawberry Lemonade Float

For a tangy twist on the classic, try making a strawberry lemonade float. Simply mix together strawberry syrup, soda and lemonade, then pour it over vanilla ice cream. Top with fresh strawberries and lemon slices for a refreshing summer treat.

2. Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Float

If you’re a fan of chocolate-covered strawberries, you’ll love this variation. Simply drizzle your vanilla ice cream for chocolate. Top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a decadent dessert.

3. Peach Strawberry Float

For a fruity twist on the classic, try making a peach strawberry float. Substitute the lemon lime soda for peach soda, then pour it over vanilla ice cream. Top with fresh peaches and strawberries for a sweet and refreshing treat.

Strawberry floats are the perfect summer treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. Whether you stick to the classic recipe or experiment with new flavor combinations, there’s no denying that this dessert is a delicious way to cool down on a hot summer day. So next time you’re craving something sweet, give our delicious strawberry float recipe a try – you won’t be disappointed
