Recommend a drink to treat myself with on Christmas Day

I've got the day to myself. Yes, I do the Sarah Millican thing. Dinner sorted. 😊

So I fancy treating myself to something nice to drink for the telly slump.

Must be available in supermarket/high street. Alcoholic but not spirit strength - not looking to get pissed! I don't like wine. Not keen on cream liqueurs, sherry or vermouth type drinks. I usually drink lager/ale but fancy a change.

So, having ruled everything out, over to you! 🙏

Pink Pigeon vanilla rum and Coke. I hate spirits but absolutely adore this stuff.

Aldi's frozen cocktails.

They are sold in the booze aisle. They in a foil packet that you pop in the freezer. Not a fan of the Pina colada one, but the others are lovely.

All these drink suggestions look great (I like Prosecco with limoncello but a pp was right - it's v strong 😳)

However - I'm also spending Christmas Day on my own and not decided what to eat. What have you chosen, op?

A few cans of Stella with vodka chasers will soo have you rocking round the Christmas tree op.

What non alcoholic drinks do you enjoy?
My Suggestions -
a Baileys hot chocolate
Peach schnapps and lemonade
Pear cider

All not very alcoholy tasting and not too strong.

I'm having roast lamb [rare treat, half price from Tesco]

Right. I've plumped. Much as I loved the suggestions of Stella with vodka chasers and snakebite I've decided I don't want to show myself up in front of errr...me. :)

I'm going to buy cider, probably mulled or pear; Crabbies ginger beer and a mixed lot of cocktails. I'll see what I fancy out of those on the day and save the rest for New Year.

Thanks everyone; some really good suggestions here. Merry Christmas one and all.
