Heated Riverly by Rachel Reid

This week the cousins are switching up the format! We’re trading paperback pages for power plays and diving headfirst into Heated Rivalry on HBO Max based on the MM romance by Rachel Reid. We'll be joined by a Heated Rivalry superfan, Miranda to recap and review episodes 1-3 and let’s just say, the ice is not the only thing melting. Mix up a Pretty Russian and join us for some laughs! 

 

Signature Cocktail: The Pretty Russian

Tonight’s cocktail is the Pretty Russian — a dangerously smooth blend of vanilla, marshmallow, and just enough kick to keep things interesting. At first sip it’s sweet, creamy, and a little indulgent… but much like a heated rivalry, Pretty on the outside… chaos underneath

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (Kahlúa)
  • ½ oz marshmallow syrup
  • 1 oz half & half or heavy cream
  • Ice

    • Optional “Pretty Factor”

    • 1 drop pink food coloring in the cream
    • Mini marshmallows
    • White chocolate syrup
    • Graham cracker crumbs or vanilla sugar for rim

      • Prep the Glass (makes it look amazing)

      1. Drizzle white chocolate syrup inside the glass.
      2. Rim the glass with marshmallow fluff then dip in graham cracker crumbs or vanilla sugar.
      3. Add ice.

        4. Build the Drink

        1. Pour vanilla vodka + coffee liqueur + marshmallow syrup over the ice.
        2. Stir lightly.
        3. Slowly pour the cream (with a tiny drop of pink coloring if you want the swirl effect).

          4. Garnish

          • Toasted marshmallow on a cocktail pick
          • Optional: tiny dust of edible shimmer

            • Flavor

            • Creamy vanilla latte
            • Toasted marshmallow sweetness
            • Rich coffee finish

              • Basically this is a grown-up marshmallow latte that looks like it belongs in a romance book scene.
