Your HOLIDAY DRINKS

**note: I could have added hot Sake, since that's traditional around my parents house, but I personally prefer Eggnog! Which on the list would you like, or.. pick something more traditional!

This was a statement from an old thread that was so dumb it was funny. Circa 2006

alcoholic drinks, which is why I added a few non-alcoholic beverages. I am curious what people like to kick back with around the stressful holidays, and what makes them feel nice on a cold winter night!

Some times interesting combinations come up and its fun to see what's in the holiday punchbowl this time of year. No offense taken, btw. Cheers! Kampai!

Seasonal winter ales, typically.

Just tried this the other day - it actually tastes like Christmas.

It's a little like a hot eggnog with rum (you can also use bourbon), but not quite like an eggnog.

Dec 2015

3 dashes bitters
3 oz Scotch whisky
1 tsp water
1 sugar cube
1 slice orange
1 maraschino cherry

In an old-fashioned glass, muddle the bitters and water into the sugar cube, using the back of a teaspoon. Almost fill the glass with ice cubes and add the scotch. Garnish with the orange slice and the cherry. Serve with a swizzle stick.

Anything for Christmas, so long as it's a mixed drink. Lately, I've learned that I like gin (never had it until a few months ago) so I've been making gin & tonics from a recipe by Jamie Oliver

I may have to search on his DrinksTube and see what festive drinks I can make
