Whats your Christmas drink?

R.Shackleford

What drinks remind you of christmas? and drinks you would only really drink around this festive time?

any good recipies?

For me it would have to be Baileys! on its own or in a coffee. Mulled wine is another one, not too mad about the taste but the smell is sooooo good!

Yep, agree with you on both counts. Baileys (with milk) and I love mulled wine.

Cream soda, an acquired taste but I love it.

And Guinness from a can.

Yeah it is. If not in some places you can get small bottles of Jones cream soda, expensive but soooo good. The newsagent in Dundrum shopping center was doing them 4 for €5 about a month ago.

My Christmas drink would be Baileys coffe and mulled wine or cider. I had a go at mulling my own wine and cider last year and it was yum.

Tom Dunne

Ballentines over ice.

Couldn't beat it with a stick.

Tabnabs

Christmas, the season for hard liquor!

Aquavit is a family christmas tradition we have.

Ilovelucy

A Bellini cocktail on Christmas Morning after mass - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I'll just have coke thanks. Lot's and lot's of coke cola!

koHd

Lots of coca cola with everything you eat. And guinness from a can. Guinness i s a real comfort drink that makes me feel warm and homely during the winter. I tend to wear thick woolen clothes when drinking guinness to get the full effect.

I knew coke was a christmas drink :cool:

KnifeWRENCH

I have a few different Christmas drinks. I drink way too much Coke anyway but I go completely overboard on it during Christmas.
I love mulled wine too.

Myself and my sister always make hot chocolate on Christmas Eve and drink it by the fire. My other sister makes really good coffee and we usually have that the morning of Stephens' Day.

Finally, I don't usually go out during Christmas but if I do, a night of vodka and lime is in store!

You should try hot chocolate with baileys in it - scrummy.

poetbloggs

Nothing says Christmas like a 2 litre bottle of Rockshandy in the fridge - tasty!

Evely016

Have to agree with these 2 choices - yum yum:p

Nah, can't stand Baileys. I'm one of the few people who seems to hate it.

lotusflower

blackbetty69

D4RK ONION

This is swiftly turning into a what is your tipple thread!

WoollyRedHat

Nice bit of hot Chocolate. Might try some warm butterscotch this year though!

WesternNight

Hot spiced apple juice:

Apple juice
Cinnamon
Squeeze of orange and lemon juice
Cloves
Nutmeg
Honey

Heat in a saucepan, serve hot. Delish. Easy to boozy it up if you're so inclined.

Woah, woah!

You can buy 2 litre bottles of Rockshandy now? Where?

I don't like mulled wine at all - had it in Munich last year, not nice

Guinness from a can is excellent, have one Christmas morning when I visit my Granny

SarahSassy

Bailey's coffee....

grenache

A can of Beamish Draught by a warm fire on Christmas Day.

This. I pretty much live on Coca-Cola for a few days.

pickarooney

If in Ireland I tend to binge on the stuff I Can't ge elsewhere - Club/Finches and proper Guinness. Otherwise gluhwein and some nice, expensive wine and a selection of Belgian beers. And if I could find that honey schappsy thing they have in Uruguay anywhere I'd grab me a bottle of that.

mymo

A couple of Christmases ago, my dad found a bottle of port while we were preparing the dinner. He gave me a glass of port and lemonade and it was lovely, I'm not much of a drinker these days... so we all had a few, but after we finished the bottle we were a little worse for wear!
For our family its pretty much whatever is lying around, most of us don't drink except christmas, when we try everything and anything!

silvervixen84

+1 for Baileys. Its Aldi equivalent also does the trick. plus lots of ice. mmmmmmmmmmmm

Gaspode

Favourite Christmas drinks:
1. Baileys
2. Hot Port
3. Mulled Cider
4. Mulled wine

Never drink them at any other time really.

That_Guy

I don't really have a seasonal drink. I suppose Jack and coke would probably be it.

MonkeyTennis

I had honey wine in Prague last year. It was GOOORGEOUS.
I thinks its called medovina

Is it like mead?

MonkeyTennis

im guessing so. They serve it hot with lemon. I tried to get some in duty free on the way back but they were all sold out!

Mackleton

A strawberry fragonard* on Christmas morning following pressies:

Nice bubbly like prosecco, puree about 5 strawberries and pour into bubbly, yum, yum.

Tia Maria and Orange Juice (tastes like terrys chocolate orange) or milk, no idea why I don't usually drink either when I'm out.

A recent favourite is malibu and pineapple juice, amazing!

Like a hot toddy on a christmas evening too.

Mulled wine on Christmas eve ftw.

I sound like a total alco, I'm not really. Honest

I've just stocked up on Mulled Wine, Mulled Fruit Punch and Baileys.

And the tree is going up tonight. I'm going to have a hot chocolate with Baileys to start me off

Fragglefur

Baileys, ice and skimmed milk. Sounds gross but really yummy!
