So yesterday was Coco’s 5th birthday. I spent some time crying because I can’t stop freaking out about how big she is getting and she can’t get big because she is my baby.

Bourbon Maple Pecan Apple Cider Float

Then I got cooking. She wanted a “Family Taco Party” to follow up her “Friends Unicorn Themed Cooking Party” from this last weekend. The whole thing was pretty funny. Her gift highlights were a harmonica from my little brother and a flashlight from my mom. Of course.

Bourbon Maple Pecan Apple Cider Float

Ok, on to the cocktails! Remember when I made this incredible vegan maple pecan ice cream last week? Well I made it into a cocktail. And a float. So it’s a cocktail ice cream float. I’m not sure that it gets better than that.

Bourbon Maple Pecan Apple Cider Float

And besides doing all of those things, it is also a perfect combination of fall flavors. Pecans, maple, apple and bourbon. This is an awesome libation and dessert. It’s both! But I also made this for the kids (with no bourbon obviously, and they loved it to.)
