There’s nothing like an ice cold glass of milk on a warm day. Have you ever considered spicing up your glass of milk, and giving it a little kick? With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, I thought I’d share one of my favorite warm weather cocktails, Dulce de Leche – Sweet Milk Cocktail. This Latin inspired libation is super easy and super delicious.
Imagine yourself relaxing on the porch or under a tree, listening to the birds sing, and feeling a gentle breeze brush across your face. Or perhaps your hosting a Mexican Fiesta full of bold and spicy flavors. Dulce de leche is a traditional Mexican flavor, and this sweet milk cocktail is perfect for cutting the heat in those spicy dishes.

Cocktails do not get any simpler. For this one, all you need is milk, vodka, butterscotch or caramel liqueur, and ice cubes. Cinnamon sticks are optional, and a pretty glass is always nice.

I craved milk the first trimester, and now in the second I can’t stand it LOL This looks good, though! (Will have to wait a while before I try!)
I love cold drinks on hot days – you can find me making smoothies often. I have never tried making dulce de leche. Although if I try, I may skip the vodka part and make it virgin:)
I’m not much of a milk lover unless it’s chocolate – I’m such a child when it comes to milk. BUT you sold me when you made it Dulce de Leche. Looks so refreshing and so different and so yummy!
Make mine without the vodka but don’t skimp on any of the other ingredients! Dulce de leche is one of my favorite flavors! Dairy products do help with the heat explosions from spicy food, so this drink would be great for Cinco De Mayo.
Yum, that sounds great – might have to make this for my husband! 🙂 #HomeMattersParty
