La La Anthony Demonstrates How To Make a Nutcracker Cocktail

The drink includes candy, fruit punch, and tequila.

Grab a pen and a piece of paper because La La Anthony is dropping the recipe for a cocktail that has been all the buzz on social media.

The BMF star uploaded a video of herself giving a tutorial on making the New York-inspired drink with ingredients including –candy, various alcohols, and a carton of fruit punch.

For Anthony, the drink pays homage to her Brooklyn roots and is a summer staple often sold at street fairs and block parties throughout the city.

“Due to popular demand, here is how to make a nutcracker 😂,” she captioned the post.

As the video opened, the actress said, “I got all the supplies we need to make the perfect nutcracker. Jolly Ranchers is key.”

She grabbed a cup and filled it with “a lot of ice” because she prefers her drink to be “super cold.” Next, without giving an exact measurement, she began to pour tequila into her cup. “Look, all this is however strong you want it to be. It’s not like a certain amount. It’s whatever you want,” she said.

As she added in Bacardi, she said, “I’m a little heavy-handed.” Following that, she poured Peach Schnapps for a fruity flavor. As she grabbed the bottle of  Everclear, she laughed, “Be careful with this, not too much.”

Lastly, she added a few pieces of candy to the cup, then stirred all the ingredients together.

“Wooo! That s– it stong!” she said after taking a sip of her concoction.

Following her taste test, she invited a friend over to give her take on the drink.

“This? You wanna have a good night? There you go.” Anthony quipped before her friend tried the beverage.

“This is good,” her friend said after the first sip.

“There you have it, don’t say I never taught you nothing,” Anthony said as her fun tutorial wrapped.
