With her love of food, she shared one of her favorite holiday cocktail drinks and how you can recreate it at home.

According to the Cheat Sheet, her go-to holiday drink is the Almond Spiced Holiday Cocktail.

To create this drink, here are the ingredients you need:

4 cups of almond milk that is unsweetened (you can buy it or make your own by blending raw almonds with milk and straining the mixture)
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of Cardamom
1 teaspoon of Powdered Ginger
½ teaspoon of clove
6 to 8 pieces of dried dates that are soaked in water
Your preference of Bourbon
Cinnamon sticks to serve as a garnish

Procedure:

1. Start by blending all of the ingredients (except for the Bourbon) in a power blender, and then pour the mixture into a small saucepan.

2. Heat the mixture over low heat and then add 4 to 6 ounces of Bourbon into the pot, depending on your preference.

3. After heating, remove from the fire and pour the mixture into a set of glasses.

4. Finish this drink off with a garnish of cinnamon sticks.

In case you prefer this drink cold, you can omit the heating process and shake it hard in a cocktail shaker. You can serve it in champagne glasses with a cinnamon or sugar rim on the glass.

It seems like Meghan Markle not only enjoys coming up with delicious recipes, but she is also fond of decorating during the holidays and hosting parties for family and friends.

During an interview with Marie Claire, she mentioned that she uses garland, or magnolia branches to adorn the stairwell banisters or mantle.

Additionally, the Duchess of Sussex knows all too well that the holidays are all about spending time with friends and family.

It is reported that she advises everyone who is joining the holiday party to bring a dish or be prepared to help out in the kitchen.
