I had happy hour at Hard Rock Cafe doing a little holiday sampling. It might be getting a little cold outside but Hard Rock Atlanta turns up the heat with its limited-edition holiday cocktails served in its signature mason jars. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlanta to try a few of the new cocktails for myself with a friend to get ourselves in the holiday “spirit”. This was my first time ever going to the HRC in Atlanta – how did I go so long without going?
She’s my Apple Pie cocktail “She’s My Apple Pie” – Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, apple and pineapple juices with Monin Salted Caramel, Angry Orchard Hard Cider, whipped cream and a cinnamon crisp
Bohemian Rasp-sody – Fresh raspberries and Monin Passion Fruit with Smirnoff Vodka, Robert Mondavi Merlot and Hard Rock’s sweet and sour, topped with house-made passion fruit foam (crafted by Kazuki Goto, BARocker 2015 Champion, Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo)
Southern Jam cocktail – Monkey Shoulder and Black Cherry Real with fresh blackberries and lemon juice
The Southern Jam was actually my favorite. I love blackberries and it just made this drink extra sweet!
My blogger friend and cocktail enthusiast Danielle of Lushworthy.com joined me. She sampled some of the drinks and she is reviewing the She’s my Apple Pie. We were going to a holiday party after together and she is the perfect person to do a cocktail tasting with!
Danielle had baked potato skins as her appetizers. I couldn’t sample any with her (I dont eat pork) but she liked it.
Oh I was really enjoying the Southern Jam. My shirt you may ask what’s going on with it? Well it was my DIY festive ugly sweater for the Holiday Party Danielle + I were attending after this. It says “Happy Holla Days”. I made it myself with a Goodwill sweater, holiday colored pom poms and felt and went happy with a glue gun. Dont spend $40 on a sweater ok?
My appetizer was the loaded Nachos with southwest chicken it in! It was delicious.
We ended our little happy hour sharing this Apple Cobble with Vanilla Ice Cream. Heaven in a bowl!
Best Part? You take the Hard Rock Cafe mason jars home with you! This made me super excited, you guys know how I love my mason jars! I enjoyed getting into the holiday “spirit” with Danielle, and don’t worry we uber’d to our holiday party!
The downtown-Atlanta Hard Rock Cafe offers several special wintery concoctions, best enjoyed surrounded by rock legend memorabilia and live music and only available through Sunday, January 3. Get your cute mason jar season cocktail, it will make your spirits bright!
Which drink would you be interested in getting you in the “Spirit”?

Goodness gracious, everything looks absolutely amazing. I’ve been to the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlanta a few times but never during the holidays. I’ve got to change that.
I’m going to have to pack myself in your suitcase next time you go out LOL. It looks like you had a ton of fun and those drinks and that food looks out of this world.
Hard Rock Cafe is a place I would love to live near – these drinks sound absolutely amazing, I will have to try and work out if I can make it to one before they go away, x
OH man they really know how to rock the festive drinks! I can’t decide which one I would want, so the logical thing is try one of each. Right? I like the appetizer and dessert too!
We love to visit the Hard Rocks all over the world. What a great sampling to get to go to!!!!! I have not tried their winter drinks before, they all sound amazing and perfect for the season!
I think of all these cocktails the Bohemian Rasp-sody sounds best. I love fresh raspberries, and passion fruit is really good too. Can’t go wrong. Right? Though, really, I could eat a few plates of those baked potato skins!
Even though I have a Hard Rock cafe here in NYC, I am not sure I have ever eaten in it! Those concoctions definitely look delicious and might be worth me making a trip down to Times Square to try 😀
I haven’t been to a Hard Rock Cafe in a while, but I need to go after seeing those drinks. That food looks good, too, and your ugly sweater is awesome! You did a great job.
Oh my gosh, I LOOOOOVE your sweater! 🙂 And these drinks…hello. I want to start with the apple pie (and then try the others). But that food just set my stomach a-growl.
I have never went to Hard Rock Cafe before. We don’t have one here but I wish we had one. These drinks and the food sound so delicious and I would love to try them all. Thanks for a great review.
These all look to die for! I love going to The Hard Rock Cafe when we are near one. Might get to the city and try these out before its too late. She’s My Apple Pie sounds so good.
There’s just something about a mason jar that makes it look better. I think I would have wanted to try the Bohemian Rasp-sody – that sounds really good.

Everything in this post looks so delicious. That’s really the best thing about Hard Rock. Their food is just as good as their atmosphere.
I am going to have to get over to the one in Boston then! I want to try all of them.
Oh I would love to try out the Apple Pie drink. I bet these are all very tasty.

These cocktails all look so delicious. I would love to try the Southern Jam cocktail first.
I was just telling my husband the other day that we haven’t been to Hard Rock in awhile! I had no idea about this delicious winter cocktails, yum!
I haven’t been in a Hard Rock Cafe in quite a while and now I think I should! Those drinks look so good, especially the Bohemian Rasp-sody!
I haven’t been to Hard Rock Cafe in such a long time. The food looks delicious. I’ll have to stop by next time I come by one.
The food is making me hungry. I think I’ll try the Bohemian Rasp-sody. Looks so festive and refreshing. 🙂

Not a word of a lie, I’m going to get me one of those Southern Jam drinks. That just look like a Long Island Ice Tea from the 1980s. Yummy.

Those pictures are awesome. I like anything apple flavored so I bet that one was a good one!
