Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Look outside your window right now! What do you see? If you said, "nothing but white stuff" you know without a doubt you're not in South Florida.
But if you see palm trees, a friendly bird, or maybe even a dolphin swimming in the ocean, you're in what the rest of the country likes to call, "f**k you".
Hey! Harsh language may not harm me but a slip and fall on the ice? That hurts!

Look, We're the lucky ones. And yes, even though last night got a little chilly, there's a big difference between having to put on a cardigan and being buried under a snow drift.
So, since it's Friday, we propose a toast -- to snow (or better yet, not having any) with one of these snow-related cocktails, courtesy of Ketel One.
Then sit back, relax, and be glad you're not this guy:
Midnight Snowstorm
1 oz. Ketel One Citroen
¼ oz. crème de violette liqueur
¼ oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 bar spoons berry jam
Champagne
Add Ketel One Citroen, crème de violette, lemon juice and jam into a cocktail shaker. Vigorously shake with ice. Strain into a flute glass. Top with champagne. Garnish with berries floating on top.
Snowflake
2 oz Ketel One Citroen
2 oz Godiva® White Chocolate Liqueur
Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a strawberry wedge.
The Melted Snowman
1 oz Ketel One Vodka
¼ oz peppermint schnapps
3 coffee beans
Place three coffee beans in the bottom of a chilled martini glass. Shake other ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and strain into martini glass. Garnish with a small candy cane.
