Disclosure: I was invited to an event to try some cocktails made with milk. All opinions expressed are my own. Milk: Shake It, Stir It, Bottoms Up!I attended an event to try some new cocktails recipes using milk. The event took place in a very nice Italian restaurant located on Venice Beach. Scopa Italian Roots, just opened its doors back in November and the place is stunning, with a great location and decorated in a very nice way. After a few appetizers we started learning about cocktails with milk. If you are my reader, you should now by now that I am from Colombia. Back home we used milk for cooking a lot. So one of the owners of Scopa Italian Roots is of Colombian heritage and he is working with the campaign Got Milk. He created some cocktails with milk and latin fruits that I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy. Here are some of the creations of Pablo Moix
During the event, we also enjoyed a delicious dinner from Scopa. It was a fun night. I am thinking of taking my family down soon for some yummy Italian food.

Disclosure: I received complementary tickets for the park, however all opinions expressed are my own. Even though it was a cold rainy day we had so much fun at Knott's Berry Farm. And during this time of the year the fun is not only with the famous thrill rides but also with family friendly activities and kids of all ages can enjoy. Knott's becomes Merry Farm and this year they have Santa's Cabin where you can keep warm inside and enjoy some treats and you can also take a picture with Santa. They also have what I consider my favorite show. It's Christmas, Snoopy. I love the songs, dance and of course the ice skating tricks. Christmas aboard Engine 41 is also a great ride. The Holiday decorated train takes you around the park and have some folks that will interact with you and even sign some Christmas Carols with you. Knott's has so much to offer so now that my son is going to be on winter break we will be for sure visiting the park again. There is just so many different things to do and it is always fun. Plus the food is delicious. For more information and to buy tickets visit Knott's website.
