What will you be drinking this xmas?

[SantieMaggie]

Inspired by the advocaat thread and mass of xmas drinks on pinterest... I am now overwhelmed by the choice of tipples for the xmas season so what will you be drinking? And what should I drink?

Oooh Kir Royale... another one to add to my list!

omg apple cider margaritas

I may just spend the whole holiday trying different drinks...

Champagne (ok, prosecco) cocktails with pama liqueur instead of brandy
Mmmm

Vintage champagne.

will open a bottle or 2 of good cava for guests arriving
red and white wine on offer with meal
baileys on ice with fresh coffee after desert
and that will probably be it til boxing day.
i always like a few during the day on boxing day for some reason - think its cause its the most relaxing day of the year for me, after all the preparation and excitement on christmas eve/day.

My home made sloe gin,champagne and I was thinking of buying a bottle of Aldi's mock Baileys (Irish Cream). At £5.99 a bottle its got to be worth a try hasn't it? would you......

Baileys and snowballs....yummy

Expresso martini's here with double cream

Baileys
It is gorgeous on ice cream too may incorporate it into my cooking

Baileys and Kir Royale here.

In his younger days dh was an amazing cocktail bartender (think Tom Cruise in cocktail ). One of our Christmas day adult puddings is a Frozen Black Irish served in a chocolate cup

Frozen Black Irish
Baileys
Vodka
Kahlua
blended with Vanilla ice-cream and ice

Fino sherry before lunch
Wine with lunch, madeira in the gravy.
Winter Pimms later, served hot.

I've tried the Aldi Irish Cream and its nice- will be what I'm buying instead of baileys...

OMG that frozen black irish sounds nice... could I make it with tia maria? (I have a bottle in the cupboard given to me by MIL when she moved house and never know what to do with it!)

I also like the sound of the espresso martini!

So far on my shopping list is:
Irish cream
Vodka
Amaretto
Creme de cassis

I already have a bottle of advocaat.

BTW DP will probably be drinking lager so this is for me.... oh I just remembered lagaritas....

Appletise and maybe some Soda Stream sparkling water.
Not pregnant (been there,done that) I just don't drink much (Not had a drink since Feb 2002 TBH)

There will be Amerrato in my marzipan though

Becks Blue

Am 30 weeks PG and it's alcohol free!

Although I will have a large sip of champagne on Xmas day as it's my birthday (bad mother alert)

Not sure as we've already drunk the christmas case of wine delivered by Virgin

would have been nice to have the white chocolate drinkypoo from M&S but they stopped doing last year

i havent found anything like it since

so its back on the gin

Advocaat is made from eggs, right? So it must have protein in, yes?

It's a health drink! Yay!

Am 24w pg, by the way.

not Feb 2002 , i was pg with DD !

Feb 2009

Over the festive period I will be mainly drinking ...... Prosecco, Mulled Wine, Vodka & diet coke, spiced rum with ice, Baileys, Amaretto with ice, Amaretto with warm milk (for bedtimes), Pear cider, a few cocktails, a few naughty coffees .... and for the retro Crimbo feel maybe a babycham and a snowball or two

Sounds like it will be a very Merry Christmas in the Taffy house!

Prosecco, mulled cider and sea breeze with the odd g and t

Fizz, glogg, christmas pudding vodka, fig vodka and not much else...

Everything

Crabbies! Can't believe no-one else has said it already. Delicious festive booze.

Alcohol and lots of it.

Bucksfizz / champagne / wine / beer / baileys ... the list is endless...

Anything with alcohol in it.
