Try Our Favorite Quik Stir Drinks for Your Next Party - Aug 2nd Special!

[leannvv]

2nd show is Aug 2nd and with the Quik Stir being a guest special, I thought I'd make a beverage with it. I had told the host I would bring a bottle of wine or make a "fun" drink as a thank you for having one of my 1st shows. What are your favorite, easy quik stir drinks?

I have made the Iced Mocha Latte from the Casual Cooking cookbook for a scrapbooking event and then for my first PC show. Everyone loved it. I don't have the recipe in front of me, but perhaps someone else has this cookbook handy and can post.
