Drinks for Christmas :)

[milius2]

So, what's your drinks for Christmas?
Last year I made some home made apple wine. It was fairly easy, just some old juices and a lot of sugar and we're on! But this year I went a little further and got myself making some beer! It is a lot more work and a lot more equipment, but here we go, 10 hours of work, 2 weeks later we got some really nice brew:

I think family and friends will like it

In my house have the usual wines, beers and spirits. None of them home made, bar two bottles of my friends Elderberry wine, one litre of my own Sloe gin and a small
bottle of Sloe vodka, courtesy of Elen Sentier.

1) Egg Nog (straight for the kids & laced with rum or Jack Daniels for the adults)
2) Warm spiced cider
3) Hot chocoalate

I made some Blueberry Vodka a few months ago, tasted it for the first time tonight, and it's the best yet. Otherwise beer,red/white wine (all bought).

I love your outdoor fridge Milius !

It's a whole kitchen Perrari I'll be smoking some mackerel tomorrow, so it will be a good chance to whipe off the snow and take some pictures.

Alcohol is a selection of Jack Daniels, Baileys and wine for the wife, Vodka, Spiced Rum and a bottle of Jura Single Malt for me

Oh... I forgot... several bottles of Crabbies as well

Soft drinks are mainly coke and water

A little whiskey & a few tinnies of draught Guiness, though if I wring out the home made christmas cake I can add a glass of cognac to the list.

I've got 2 bottles of Taylors 1979 port left so I'll enjoy them with some Armagnac Still have four bottles of NV Veuve Clicquot so they'll get used then the usual everyday drinkypoos for backup.

Pussers Rum only, its traditional with me, brings back good memories

Wow! I'm impressed, Red! Hope to taste that port, if there's any left, at a meet next year

 

[Elen Sentier]

Well , we've got 3 wines made by a super brewing friend - oak leaf, lilac and elder. And made by me, quite a lot of sloe vodka, a bottle of sloe brandy (to die for!), irish whisky with raisins and sultanas; non-alcho elderflower, rowan berry, elderberry and lavender cordials. And bought in, some cheap red wine for mulling, Rigwelter beer, malts Laphroaig and Talisker, and Delamain cognac. Well warmed we'll be this midwinter

I've been given a bottle of 18yr old Chivas Regal gold signature for Yule ...not a fan of blended whisky .....but this is .very nice :thumbup:

I ran out of my favorite tipple last year and can't get hold of the stuff for love nor money, but I've a bottle of 18 year Jameson's and a bottle of Jagermeister so I'm half happy.
