Every year millions of children set out milk and cookies for dear old Santa on Christmas Eve. Do you ever wonder if Santa gets tired of milk and cookies? Santa is a grown man (or woman!) and maybe he wants something stronger after a long night of delivering presents. This will be the first year Santa makes a visit to our little Sadie and maybe she’ll be a sweet baby and leave Santa one of these delicious cookie cocktails. Classic cookie inspired drinks featuring smooth Partida Tequila make for a very Merry Christmas!

Is it Happy Hour yet? Happy Friday everyone!
As a kid we always left Santa cookies, beer, and carrots for the reindeer (my grandparents use to tell me that Santa was secretly lactose intolerant so that is why he requested the beer). The tradition now carries on with my daughter although last year Santa requested champagne instead of the beer, ha ha.
Goss Family I love your story! These look so delicous! Maybe I’ll leave Santa a cocktail this year.

these would be great drinks to serve at a cookie swap party
What a fabulous fabulous idea… I would definitely set out a cocktail for Santa. I would love to have a Snickerdoodle cocktail along with a snickerdoodle cookie, that looks delicious! Calories don’t count at Christmas, right??
Just featured this on my latest blog post!
Thank you for guest blogging for me Carrie. These look sooo delicious!
I am loving the 7 layer cookies.
Found your blog through Pinterest. Love it! Have you tried Cake vodka? Delish!
Hi Courtney! So glad you found Half Baked! I just recently spotted Cake Vodka for the first time… am I way behind? I haven’t tried it but was definitely intrigued! Is it good?
Wow! I did a similar thing for Christmas last year too though not half as sophisticated as this (see? http://chamchamguide.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/christmas-cookies-kahlua-creme-de-cacao-irish-cream/#more-638).
I’m definitely looking to try the Seven Layer Cookie. Looks amazing!
