tips and tricks for success
  • Use Hawaiian rolls. Hawaiian rolls are perfect for sliders – sweet, fluffy, melt in your mouth dinner rolls. Not to mention, they are perfectly bite-sized to feed a big gathering and large crowds.
  • Use your favorite cheese. The recipe lists mozzarella but havarti, swiss or gouda are also great options.
  • Double the recipe. The sliders can easily be doubled or tripled, using a separate baking dish for each.
  • Make ahead of time. This is a great recipe to assemble ahead of time and placed in the fridge (up to 4 hours).
  • Cover with foil. If the tops of the dinner rolls are browning too fast, tent with aluminum foil as needed.
  • Mix it up. Swap the pepperoni for salami or prosciutto, add bacon or pickled jalapeno slices, or use everything bagel seasoning blend for the poppy seeds.

Brueck's Coconut Creamsicle Cocktail

By
Ingredients & Substitutions Vanilla vodka – If you don't have vanilla vodka, whipped cream vodka will work, or you can add a few drops of vanilla extract to your cocktail shaker to make up for that vanilla flavor. Orange juice – Please only use fresh squeezed citrus for this. The drink would be fine with bottled, but there is something so delicate and perfect about fresh squeezed that can't be beat. Coconut milk – You want the full-fat canned coconut milk, not the thinned out stuff from the fridge section. If you don't have this, you can swap half-and-half or heavy cream. Simple syrup – Store bought or homemade simple syrup will work here. You can also use agave, but it will change the flavor a bit. Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure.  Coconut Creamsicle Cocktail This delightful coconut creamsicle cocktail is made with a dreamy blend of vanilla vodka, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and creamy coconut milk. Served over crushed ice and garnished with an...
