Ginger, Lemon, and Honey Infused Iced Tea Cocktails

It's Monday, and you deserve a cocktail just for getting out of bed this morning.  Let's face it, sometimes Mondays are just the worst. Your weekend high turns into a weekend somber on Sunday night and then it's back to the grind the next morning.  Or at least that is how it all plays out in our house.  That's why you deserve to come home from work today and whip up this tasty tea spiked with a little somethin' somethin' to wind down.  These ginger, lemon, and honey infused iced tea cocktails are mine and Canean's new favorite go to summer cocktail, perfect for front porch sittin' when it's nice and steamy outside.

Is there anything more southern than sweet tea really?  There might be a couple of close contenders, but really sweet tea is just in so many of my memories of summer growing up.  That's why I decided I wanted to make an iced tea cocktail with a few flavor enhancers that would be perfect for quenching your thirst all summer long! 

Let's face it, in Louisiana we need all the help we can get staying cool.  And if a cocktail can help achieve my optimum body temperature, then who am I to mess with that?  It's basically a necessity...yes, definitely a necessity.

Ginger Molasses Cookie and Egg Nog Ice Cream Sandwiches

What is better than a glass of Egg Nog during the holidays? 

Egg Nog ice cream that's what, sandwiched between two chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies.  Whoa...prepare to have your mind blown!

It is basically holiday wrapped up into one lip smackin' good ice cream sandwich. 

I am a big fan of ice cream being an appropriate dessert all throughout the year.  I am the girl who has a scarf and gloves on eating ice cream outside that people look at like she's crazy.  This is because ice cream happens to be one of my favorite foods.  There is no way I could ever give it up.  My father-in-law happens to be the only other person I know who loves it as much as I do.  We have  formed quite the ice cream bond over the years.

My husband on the other hand prefers cookies.  All kinds of cookies (except sugar cookies), which is why ice cream sandwiches make both of us really happy.  It's the best of both worlds! 

Since egg nog is pretty much an ice cream base in a drink it was the easiest ice cream I have ever made.  And the ginger molasses cookies are super easy as well and are the perfect spicy balance to the decadent ice cream.  Just build the sandwiches and freeze them individually and they are ready when you are.
