TikTok Is Loving Million Dollar Listing Star Bobby Boyd's Christmas Cocktail Tutorial
Bobby Boyd was once a model. Now he is a luxury real estate agent, per his website. And most recently, he has also branched out into online recipe creation. This week, Boyd shared his method for "the BEST (literally) CHRISTMAS COCKTAIL EVER" on TikTok. In essence, it is a caffeine-free, holiday-inspired take on a White Russian. You need 2 ounces each of vodka and Disaronno amaretto, 1 ½ ounces of Baileys Irish cream, and 2 ½ ounces of milk, the type of which is up to you. Shake it all up, and use chocolate and crushed peppermint to garnish the rim of your glass.
Boyd's highly entertaining video cuts to several different pop culture references throughout, and it ends very confidently: After taking a sip of his festive concoction, he asserts, "Your mom would put her foot in it." The video has been viewed more than half a million times. Of course, while many commenters complimented the holiday cocktail Boyd prepared, others seemed rather distracted by his looks.

Boyd's holiday amaretto and Irish cream beverage wasn't the first holiday cocktail he shared on social media; it was actually a follow-up to another TikTok demonstrating his Kris Kringle Candy Cane Martini. The recipe, which you can find on Boyd's website, calls for white chocolate liqueur, peppermint schnapps, and vanilla-flavored vodka. Extra Christmastime cheer is added with crushed candy canes, white powdered sugar, and agave around the rim of each frosty cold martini glass.
Perhaps Boyd's most festive suggestion, though, does not come in the form of a cocktail recipe, but in his highly creative way to DIY a shot glass. Per his post, simply unwrap 28 peppermint candies, arrange them into hexagons on a baking tray, and bake them for 11 minutes. Then, carefully mold the warm melted peppermints into the shape of a shot glass. Once they're cooled, you can pour yourself a holiday shot celebrating your ingenuity.
