Food Network Friday: Cocktails and Drinks

Happy Last Friday of 2011!!!

One of the big milestones for me this year was my 21st birthday -- most of my friends were/are really excited to turn 21 because they can finally drink (legally, that is, haha!). I, on the other hand, wasn't as excited about that aspect because I don't really like the taste of alcohol, haha. Is that weird?

But anyway, I still drank (okay, more like tasted) tequila at my sister's house, but I haven't had a proper cocktail!
What better reason to enjoy a nice cocktail than New Year's Eve, right?!

So I went to the ever-trusty www.foodnetwork.com to find some cocktail recipes we can all prepare and enjoy while ringing in the New Year:

1. Mexicocoa - 

Warm up with this festive hot chocolate spiked with tequila and a pinch of chili powder.

2. Citrus Temptation - 

Limoncello gives this vodka-based cocktail some Italian flair.

3. S'Mores Delight - 

Go decadent with this very grown-up take on the campfire classic.

4. Pointsettia Cocktail -

Emeril's drink, made with vodka, Champagne and cranberry juice, is dressed up with strips of orange zest.

5. Cider Punch - 

This punch is perfect for a crowd. It's infused with orange peels.

I also want to drink a strawberry margarita -- that is definitely on my list, it's one of the first things I'm gonna do this coming year, haha! ;)

Which of these cocktails would you like to try the most?
What is your favorite cocktail? Any recommendations for me?
