Favourite Christmas Drink.

[Georgiesmum]

What is your favourite Christmas drink? Does anyone still drink snowballs and other stuff people used to drink like cherry b, babycham and blue nun? Can you still get them?I havent seen any of these for years.

Love a baileys over ice. Second place would be a Morgans with coke.

[Georgiesmum]

Have you tried the new coffee Baileys yet? I got a bottle the other day.It sounds nice.

[FrogNog]

Baileys without a doubt.

[ummmm]

Bucks Fizz.

[rowanwitch]

Mulled wine, mulled cider, or really good coffee with a shot of tia maria

[Georgiesmum]

Oh i never thought of putting tia maria in a coffee, i will have to try that.

[janbee]

Its always champagne, a really really good one like Dom Perignon.

[Georgiesmum]

Does anyone still drink snowballs?

[janbee]

Haven't heard of them for years. They went out of fashion around the time of Pink Ladies.

[Georgiesmum]

Ive not even heard of pink ladies. what is that? is it a cocktail?

[ummmm]

I got some snowballs a few years back.

If you put milk in Tia Maria it tastes like Baileys.

Baileys is very easy to make.

[magicmick]

Mrs MM loves snowballs you can get them from Morrisons in packs of four about £2.50

[Georgiesmum]

I seem to remember seeing a Womens Institute recipe to make homemade Baileys once,using condensed milk.

[ummmm]

1⅔ cups good Irish whiskey (we use Jameson Irish Whiskey)
1 cup heavy cream
1 (14-ounce) can fat free sweetened condensed milk (you can use regular)
2 tablespoons Hershey’s chocolate syrup (melting baking chocolate works as well)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp cold coffee

i bought some snowballs, i really enjoyed them as an alternative to wine etc!

[Maydup]

There's nothing more Christmasy than a glass of port. i don't mind if I do!

CherryB, Babycham and Blue Nun were all in my Morrison's along with Snowballs in bottles this morning. Even my corner shop sells Blue Nun.

[EDDIE51]

Brandy and Babycham used to be known as a 'knickerdropper Special' or a 'leg opener' back in the 60s.

[askyourgran]

I used to enjoy a Martini, now it's Baileys with ice or in coffee, or Tia Maria in coffee.

[Prudie]

I drink snowballs all the time but only at Christmas, make them from scratch though with a decent advocaat, lemonade and lime juice. Its been a family tradition for years.
