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.

There’s quite a few of those I could happily work my way through! I love Chambord and Champagne, I use Chambord in loads of drinks, the smell is incredible 🙂
Only Helen could accidentally discover Malteaser Vodka – I love her!

You cant beat a nice vodka lemonade!
I 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!
Due to suffering from Crohns, I cannot drink – Ahhhhhhhhh!
Presumably you don’t have to try them all at once. 🙂
Some of these look yummy, alas I can’t afford to drink!
they look amazing. ive never heard of malteser vodka before; where can you buy it?

Love cocktails like this, and even better for xmas!
I 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!
I drink either but I’m so tempted by some of those 🙂 xxx

Coffee vodka looks good. I’ll give it a try this holidays. Also love the Boozy Mocha Mousse (listed on the original recipe).
