Jack in the Box announced its new bacon milk shake, which it's added to the menu for a very limited time. Although the bacon trend doesn't seem to be dying down anytime soon, we're on the fence about this one.

Camilla Salem — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:45:42 PST

We all have our culinary fears. Mine revolve around temperamental dessert recipes that require precision and the right environment to work. Case in point: I am completely intimidated by chocolate soufflés (yet I've promised myself to attack this fear head on in the coming weeks). Once, I also had a horrific experience with a batch of marshmallows, which I don't think I'll ever forget. So I'm wondering, what are the recipes or techniques that intimidate you in the kitchen? Share your answers (and advice!) in the comments.

From bubbly libations that won't knock you off your feet to stronger tipples that should probably be sipped slowly, here are 15 of our favorite daytime cocktails.
