With Christmas fast approaching you may be looking for alcoholic drinks to serve your guests. Here I’ve listed some of my own favourites along with some from fellow bloggers. There is something fruity, fizzy, creamy and spicy so there should be something for everyone. Some can even be made and bottled to give as gifts.
Don’t be afraid to experiment, if you fancy giving something a try then I would recommend using small quantities at first. If you want to make a cocktail that uses a chocolate liquor, for example, and don’t want to go to the expense of buying a whole bottle then why not experiment with a little vodka and your favourite chocolate – which is the way I discovered Malteser vodka.

December 3, 2013 at 3:58 amI have to admit, you put them all in front of me, I’d still prefer a bottle of Budweiser, but I’ve learnt through a lifetime of hangovers to find something that suits and keeps me feeling fine! If I was younger there are a few of the drinks might have interested me!

December 3, 2013 at 8:13 amI love the sound of mulled cider, a nice change from mulled wine. I’d also give the coffee vodka a try too and I just know the Gin Lemon would be a winner!
