What cocktails can we make for Christmas?

[FizzyPink]

It’s now just DP and I at home for Christmas and it feels like a lot of days to fill! So I thought doing some cocktail making would be fun. This is what I currently have and can add anything else to my Tesco order until midnight.

Vodka
Vanilla vodka
Passoa
Gin
Tequila
Grenadine
Sugar syrup
Champagne
Lemon juice
Pink gin
Tonic water
Lemonade

You could definitely do passion fruit martini (vodka, passoa, sugar syrup & ideally lime juice but lemon works and champagne). Maybe a Tom Collins? Following for more ideas!

Although I often can’t be faffed with the basil, so you can easily leave it out. Absolutely divine (and potentially deadly-it’s how aged 40 and 45 we had a last minute baby....

Get some soda water too, and fresh lines / cranberries. Spend the next week experimenting and report back!

Add Cointreau so you can make margaritas, cranberry juice so you can do cosmopolitans too.

I just made an Ameretto sour with lime juice , sugar and crushed ice all shaken -bloody lush

Yule mule

Vodka, lime juice, ginger ale, cranberry juice

I'm going to major on espresso martinis this year. I also have some of the M&S salted caramel brownie liqueur. I'm not sure how I'm going to drink it yet but I'm looking forward to it.

Add some kahlua to your list for espresso martini ( vodka , kahlua , espresso)

Campari is good mixed with tonic as an aperitif or with sweet red vermouth and gin (equal parts all 3) for a night cap negroni

If you have any Orange juice in you could do a tequila sunrise!

Nigella’s Poinsettia cocktails are gorgeous (and lethal!).
Cranberry juice, cava/prosecco and Cointreau.
