Thread: Favorite Holiday Drinks

Do you have a favorite holiday drink, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic?

I'm a fan of gluhwein, or mulled wine. I first had gluhwein in Germany in the 1990s At the winter markets they had stands where you could buy a mug full of steaming wine to walk around with. This year I'm thinking about trying Wassail.

It's a holiday tradition for me to start the mornings with Irish Cream Liqueur and coffee.

The wife and I have been having hot mulled cider with dinner (simmered with cinnamon sticks, cloves, all-spice and brown sugar-very Christmasy!). I also enjoy the occasional egg-nog with a generous shot of bourbon. The occasional bourbon and coke. A splash of a heavily-peated Islay scotch on a cold evening is also great.

And on Christmas day, I'll go over to my brother's house, where I have my annual Crown Royal XO (his house pour) with ginger-ale and lime over ice-just a delicious drink, and I always leave wondering why I don't drink more Canadian. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all however you enjoy it!

a nice glass or two of port at Christmas time for me.
Mulled wine and Irish cream also goes down well too.

Sweet tea. Got to keep my truck driver figure in shape. I drink sweet tea or coffee at all times. Holidays or not. Guess im kinda boaring.

For me just simple Egg Nog, no alcohol involved.

Hot Buttered Rum
Tom & Jerry
Mulled wine
Hot spiced cider

Egg Nog with a good, golden, rum.

I'm a creature of habit and don't change much at the holidays.
Two to three fingers of good small batch bourbon like Blanton's or Woodford Reserve Double Oaked with one ice cube.
A side of ice cold beer.
Cheers!!
