Mine's a Bison grass vodka with cloudy apple juice!

What is yours? Recommendations please!

Chambord, neat 😁

Laska2Meryls · 10/12/2019 18:56

White port and tonic (ice and lemon)
We discovered this on a recent trip to Porto.. it really is nice..

or a h/m Negroni but I do have to remind myself (as they are so yummy and go down so fast ) that they are actually 3 drinks in one glass!

Bunnybigears · 10/12/2019 18:57

Dissorano and coke. Only ever drink it at Christmas

GoodCheer · 10/12/2019 18:58

Champagne! Not cava or Prosecco, the proper stuff.

DuggeesWoggle · 10/12/2019 18:59

Ruby port with a dash of brandy. Port is very much a Christmas thing, feels wrong at any other time of year and the brandy just gives it an edge.

I really want to try the Aldi gingerbread liqueur but they didn't have it when I went last weekend and not sure if I'll get there again before Christmas.

Ginger wine or sloe gin.

MothershipG · 10/12/2019 19:06

Egg nog & snowballs! Both delicious and completely inappropriate the rest of the year. 😂😂😂

Tableclothing · 10/12/2019 19:07

Mulled wine
Mulled cider
Bailey's
Disaronno
Snowballs
Champagne
Buck's Fizz (breakfast)
Dark n stormy
G n T
Really good Rioja

Can you tell I'm heavily pregnant and I really miss drinking?

Haven't had bison grass vodka and apple for a long time...

RedGlitterBall · 10/12/2019 19:07

Baileys Smile

Moominfan · 10/12/2019 19:09

Baileys
Rum cream

Don't drink all year until dec

lazylinguist · 10/12/2019 19:11

Champagne/Bucks Fizz. Mulled cider (I can't drink red wine).

ineedto · 10/12/2019 19:12

Vintage port, dash of bitter lemon and ice.
Rhubarb gin with prosecco.
G&T.

Oblomov19 · 10/12/2019 19:13

Baileys

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 10/12/2019 19:14

Limoncello topped with Prosecco! 😍

WinterBerry7 · 10/12/2019 19:17

Prosecco with sloe gin.

Delicious but lethal.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 10/12/2019 19:29

All sounding good!

Love a snowball at Christmas, and a Cherry B ( tiny bottles but lethal! ). Dark and Stormy too. DP makes a marmalade gin cocktail which is delicious and decadent for late breakfast slurp!

Sad for @Tableclothing - save the drinks up for next Christmas Grin.

Cup of tea

DuggeesWoggle · 10/12/2019 19:37

I don't know why but that port drink sounds very 1970s, ineedto. That's not a bad thing btw Xmas Grin

HowlsMovingBungalow · 10/12/2019 21:37

Port to me means gout Grin

SnorkMaiden81 · 10/12/2019 21:46

Cherry B!

HowlsMovingBungalow · 10/12/2019 21:54

Loving the moomin fans on this thread btw!

@SnorkMaiden81 - Iceland has Cherry B's in - £5.00 something for 4 bottles Shock I swear they weren't that price last yr or the previous yrs. Expensive!!

I love Port but am very tempted by the Hotel Chocolat mint liqueur, it sounds a bit Gavin and Stacey.

Crazypanda85 · 10/12/2019 22:00

Oh god I love it all.
Strong red wine, champagne, Baileys, mulled wine. Christmas drinks are the best.

I'm pregnant this year so all please have another one (or 4 for me!)

HowlsMovingBungalow · 10/12/2019 22:04

Will do @Crazypanda85 - just think of next Christmas's drinks! Wine
