It went a little something like this...<br /><br />Christmas eve: steaming mugs of Winter Pimms to aid me through present wrapping, accompanied by festive tunes.<br /><br />Christmas day: champers, champers, all the way. A Bailey's coffee post-lunch and present opening. Once the many children were in bed my uncle cracked open to drinks cabinet and made a LOT of cocktails, resulting in temporary blindness (me), the inability to speak (him), and bouncing around the house on giant space hopper (my mum and auntie).<br /><br />Boxing day: over to my sister's for our B-day tradition of (a lot of) cheese and (even more) port.<br /><br />Festive bliss.<br />Anna Shttp://cookerina.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-61552641675639884382012-12-12T14:55:19.494+00:002012-12-12T14:55:19.494+00:00M&S pink gin and slimline tonic.

But our best celebration tradition is my middle daughter making me a cocktail. In a fancy glass with all the umbrellas, sparkles, plastic octopus and twisty straws you can fit. She creates her own cocktails according to what we have in the house, based on the martini 'pure alcohol with pure alcohol' principle. They can be quite... exciting.Esjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530109658823659560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-11437640220326590842012-12-11T23:23:59.481+00:002012-12-11T23:23:59.481+00:00Lately I'm feeling very partial towards Amarul...Lately I'm feeling very partial towards Amarula...

So far (and we will be adding to the mix) we are planning Espresso martinis pre-lunch, a fizz with St Germain elderflower liqueur with our turkey and then move on to a rose and lychee concoction later in the day. Possibly a port or rusty nail to round things off if we get that far without a sleep on the sofa. We've never tried a marmalade mix and I have a stash of jam jars just waiting for such a drink!
