christmas drinks

creepyaddick

Which drinks do you have at Christmas that you wouldn't normally quaff?
I do like a snowball this time of year and a baileys or two but a new one to me, recommended by a colleague, called Tequila Rose, a strawberry flavoured cream that I intend to demolish!

Happy Christmas all!

Wife makes her own Baileys, lovely

As it's Christmas, one from the furry cup.

I go for whisky mac after the beers and red wine

Hendricks and tonic with ice and a slice of cucumber.

Sherry & Port. Love me a bit of Harvey's Cream at this time of year, fills me with that Christmas feeling

IdleHans

Buck's Fizz on Christmas morning. We seem to have amassed seven or eight bottles of prosecco and need to find a way of using it up...

Chris_from_Sidcup

Bucks fizz in the morning, Bailey's in the evening.

Never drink either at any other time of year.

I can't understand the baileys thing at all, utter filth!

Think alcoholic ribena and you're not far off.

And don't say "what the fuck is champagne...."

Always a little Harvey's Bristol Cream left after making the trifle, can't let it go to waste.

Xmas Eve is a difficult one on the drink front. I'm itching to get started but I got 3hrs kip last night and suspect It won't be much more tonight, so really don't want to spend the big day tomorrow feeling dog rough.

Sod it, crack on :-)

And a Happy f'ing Christmas to you too!!!

I've got some port lined up for later this evening. For tomorrow, I've got four bottles of my 8% Belgian style home-brew and a bottle of Adnams Tripel Knot- Mrs Stig bought this for me in November and it's set a record (six weeks) for the longest a beer has survived in my house. Quite happy to have a snowball, a g&t or anything else that's going to be honest. Will probably get roped into drinking mulled wine at some stage.

Gluevine or whatever it's called at the Christmas markets.

Nice. No one in my family like trifle so I very rarely have it, which is a shame because I love it.

Re kir royale, sloe gin instead of cassis is a nice but potentially messy variation (what the fuck is sloe gin?)

McBobbin

White wine and prosecco for lunch. Like a fool I then came off it, so I've already had a 10 minute nap and a visit from the beer goblin (the wee fella that messes up your hair and then shits in your mouth)

Gin made with sloes (berries from a blackthorn bush)

Has to be a snowball at Christmas- used to be a 1960s tv advert with a jingle that went something like......'whole egg yolks, good for folks, Warninks advocaat' sung along to a traditional Dutch tune.

My Mum also liked a Dubonnet at Christmas:
