It’s New Years Eve. You’re holding your champagne, prosecco, or cocktail, and while you’re not going to serve your kids a cocktail, you certainly CAN serve them a MilkTail: A Fun New Year’s Eve Drink for Kids!

MilkTail Recipe: A Fun New Year’s Eve Drink for Kids!

A MilkTail is extremely simple: it’s warm milk with cinnamon served in a chocolate and sprinkle rimmed cup. 4 ingredients and 8 minutes later, you’ll have a beautiful, fun drink for your toddler to enjoy on New Year’s Eve! If you’re hosting a New Year’s Eve party, make a beautiful tray of these and serve it to the kids at 6:00 PM or 12:00 AM–your choice!

MilkTail Recipe: A fun New Year’s Eve Drink for Kids!

Yield: 1 MilkTail

• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/8 cup colored sprinkles (we used gold and red)
• 3/4 cup organic whole milk (can substitute with almond milk or milk of choice)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Place the chocolate chips in a large plate. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir with a spoon until fully melted, creating a smooth chocolate sauce. (Do not over mix.) Place the gold sprinkles in a separate large plate.
2.  Dip the rim of a plastic cup into the chocolate sauce until evenly coated, then dip the rim of the cup into the gold sprinkles to evenly coat. (If making several of these drinks, repeat, alternating sprinkle colors.)
   
3. Warm the milk in a microwave-safe cup for 30 seconds or just until warm — not hot. Add the cinnamon and beat with a fork to mix well. Pour the cinnamon milk into the cup. Add a fun straw, trimming the bottom with scissors if needed. Serve!
