Looking for inspiration. I like a drink at Christmas but get bored with wine and lager. I always like the look of those new flavoured gins but I don't like gin 🤪
I like the idea of a drink that I can make last like a glass of wine.
Anyone suggest anything?
Cheers! 🥂

I discovered Rumchata last year as a good alternative to Baileys.

MummaPI · 20/12/2018 15:31

Ooh yes forgot about rumchata!

Advocaat and lemonade. It's not Christmas without a snowball (I'm pregnant so will be unable to partake in this fine drink Sad)

Baileys on ice...in my large crystal brandy glass😁

AppleKatie · 20/12/2018 19:10

Chocolate vodka!

Sarge17 · 20/12/2018 19:15

Sherry! But not this year 😔🤰

MrTumblesSpottyBum · 20/12/2018 19:17

Frangelico, cream & ice. Mmm.

missyB1 · 20/12/2018 19:20

I need inspiration too. I’m thinking of buying some Cinzano or is that just too retro?! Grin

Iwishit · 20/12/2018 19:20

Sherry

BishopBrennansArse · 20/12/2018 19:21

Baileys.
By the fuck tonne.

heatherblue · 20/12/2018 19:22

Clairette de Die, a beautiful sparkling Muscat wine. It's fairly low in alcohol so you can have loads of it! Grin

OublietteBravo · 20/12/2018 19:24

Sherry.

TheFaerieQueene · 20/12/2018 19:27

Champagne - as always.

YahBasic · 20/12/2018 19:28

Amarula on ice or Angostura bitters, lime & soda.

MummaPI · 20/12/2018 19:37

Wow, feel tipsy just reading this thread!

Amarula or Aldi Special Irish Creme

Port and Fanta Lemon, other proper lemonades

Bucks Fizz (cheap Aldone is fine)

pouraglasshalffull · 20/12/2018 20:16

Amaretto and Coke and Bucks Fizz! Yum

pouraglasshalffull · 20/12/2018 20:16

Should specify they are two separate drinks, please don't put Bucks Fizz in your Amaretto and Coke Grin

MummaPI · 20/12/2018 20:17

Ha! I did wonder!

Tia Maria and pure orange juice tastes like Terrys chocolate orange.

BillywigSting · 20/12/2018 20:20

Bailys and milk over ice (more baileys than milk).

One to have with pudding though as it's very sweet.

Otherwise some unusual beer (ie not carlsberg or John smiths) , I like the wytchwood ones and maybe a couple of independent ones

user1457017537 · 20/12/2018 20:21

Aperol Spritz or Campari, nice and red and festive!

OddBoots · 20/12/2018 20:26

spiced vodka and apple juice or lemonade.
