On the first day of Christmas, Domestic Sluttery gave to me... a bathing girls tea set from Dutch by Design!
Hurrah! It's December 1st! This means advent calendars, counting shopping days, putting the tree up and Sluttery Christmas! Yay! We've got 12 days of Christmas presents to share with you. You know the drill by now, right? We give you a present every day, and then on day 12, we do something very very special indeed. But you'll have to wait to find out what that is, we like surprises.
We're kicking off with this fabulous tea set from the fabulous homewares shop Dutch by Design (check out their amazing chandeliers). It's not just the pretty little cups that have bathing girls, but the teapot too!
Pretty isn't it? I like that the saucers have little lingerie drawings on them. The tea set is worth around £60, and one will go to a very lucky home. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling everyone what your favourite Christmas tipple is. That's it! As it's the first competition of the month, you'll also get an extra entry for retweeting if you're on Twitter (only once, we don't like spamming).
The competition will close at 8pm tonight, so you've got time to enter even if you're working hard all day. We'll pick a winner at random and announce the winner tomorrow. And of course, tell you what the next prize is. The winner will even get an exclusive Christmas treat from us. Well go on! Get entering, or we'll keep the set for ourselves!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
The small print (yawn): The competition will close at 8pm December 1st. This prize can be delivered worldwide, yay! You must also leave a name as well to make sure we know who you are! If you're anon your entry won't count. We're not allowed to enter our own competitions, but I am quite partial to a mug of spicy hot cider. We wish we could enter our competitions. Humph.
My favourite Christmas tipple has to be mulled wine!
ReplyDeletePeppermint hot chocolate with a towering pile of whipped cream!
ReplyDeleteSpiced vodka and tonic. Mmmmm...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tipple is a nice creamy liqueur, so something like Baileys or White Choc from Vom Fass, consumed while sitting in the most outlandish jumper that I can find!
ReplyDelete(Probably knitted by my Mum!)
Baileys (consumed alongside a tin of Quality Street whilst watching the epic Eastenders xmas episode)
ReplyDeleteHas to be Baileys :)
ReplyDeleteHas to be the sherry while making the trifle - one glass for the trifle.... one for me - and so it continues....
ReplyDeleteI want to lie and say something festive, but the truth is my favourite Christmas tipple is still a cup of tea. Just perhaps with a mince pie resting on the saucer.
ReplyDeleteAmaretto, Cointreau and Cranberry juice. Divine, but dangerously alcoholic!
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful tea set!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas drink is a nice red wine.
Brandy. It's the only time of year it's acceptable to drink at breakfast too- yay!
ReplyDeleteDifficult!
ReplyDeleteI'm hard pressed to pick between warm spiced cider or a strong smoky tea. Or a hot toddy!
I guess I'd go for a Northumbrian blend tea sweetened with honey and topped off with lemon. Back you evil winter germs and cold!
Amaretto and cognac!!! yummers.
ReplyDeleteChampers!
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely hot spiced apple juice with a dash of whiskey! I haven't had it in aaaages - it's usually available at the market in Meeting House Square in Dublin, and to my uncultured mind, is the best possible use for whiskey.
ReplyDeleteWhile living on these dark shores, mulled wine - super spicy - is definitely my fave.
MMMM it's got to be a Southern Comfort and Ginger Ale....the ginger reminds me of Christmas because it tends to be the only time I drink it and the Southern Comfort because it warms you up inside :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas tipple has to be Baileys. Baileys in coffee. Baileys in hot chocolate. Baileys over your minced pies. Straight Baileys over an ice cube (or spoonful of snow from the front garden if you're lacking an ice tray). Always Baileys.
ReplyDeleteadvocaat and lemonade (snowballs) only drink them at xmas and theyre yummy :)
ReplyDeleteHave rt'd also @xxladyluck13xx
Warm apple juice cannot be beaten. But if you want something stronger, you can always add a shot of winter pimms to it.
ReplyDeleteEmily Wearmouth
Has to be Pimms Winter in front of the fire
ReplyDeleteOooOooh!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas tipple this year will be Disaronno and Coke :D But a nice German Gluhwwein wouldn't go amiss either!
Port and lemonade - a new one for me, only discovered last year. But it's definitely being resurrected this year! Might even pour it out of a teapot, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat, I have to pick just one? I can't decide between mulled cider with nutmeg, cinnamon and brandy or a bloody mary with winter spiced vodka. Then there is sloe gin drunk neat from a hipflask on the beach on Christmas Morning.
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate laced with a touch of baileys in a huge girly mug piled high with cream and marshmallows! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI have a new exciting Christmas drink - gingerbread latte (God bless my coffee machine) with whiskey in it. It is BRILLIANT and everybody should try it, even if it means sneaking a hip flask into starbucks.
ReplyDeleteGlühwein, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteChristmas has TRULY arrived when you're wrapping up the last of the presents on Xmas eve with a cognac to keep out the cold and you start Xmas day breakfast with a Bucks Fizz!
ReplyDeleteI am not really a drinker but its hard to say no to a glass of Prosecco
ReplyDeleteA glass of port whilst making the gravy (with port in)!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite X-Mas tipple is egg nog!
ReplyDeleteBetty's Spiced Christmas tea.. http://www.bettys.co.uk/product/Spiced-Christmas-Tisane-20-Sheer-Leaf-Tea-Bags,18973,129.aspx
ReplyDeletemy favourite christmas tipple?? Do I have to choose?? I think I'll take Mulled Cider ( or at a push, mulled wine!) Great prize ladies!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be a very classic and traditional winter Purl cocktail:
ReplyDeleteGin
Ale
Cloudy Apple Juice
Cinnamon stick
Sugar
Hops
Cloves
Honey
Angostura Bitters
Star anise
AMAZING and available to try at the moment at Purl in Marylebone - bonus!
Mulled wine with a sprinkling of cinnamon...and hot organic apple juice with a sprinkling of cinammon. If you don't fancy cinnamon with the hot apple juice, throw in a small sprig of fresh rosemary or mint leaves and leave to infuse. Delish!
ReplyDeleteThe first glass of the Christmas Bailey's which I opened last night after a horrendous 2 hour journey home in the snow (should have taken 20 mins!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite christmas tipple would be a cheeky So Co on the rocks! Also love Bailys on the rocks too! Lush!
ReplyDeleteGuinness + tia maria = naughty but nice!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas Tipple is my grandparents as they are Mr and Mrs Tipples.
ReplyDeleteOh I have to choose one! Well other than the most necessary mulled wine (first one of the season swiftly approaching) this year I am thinking that Christmas Cocktails are in order... there will be whisky, ginger and spice sipped in front of a blazing fire..
ReplyDeleteI discovered Taylor of Harrogates's Spiced Christmas Tea last week. Tastes like liquid mince pies, and perfect for a brew in that lovely teapot...
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be a steaming mulled wine. Heady and aromatic and delicious. Yes please!
ReplyDeleteit is usually mulled wine, but myself and 'the girls' have started up a vodka-circle recently (who needs a knitting circle!). we're concocting various sweetie flavoured vodkas for one hell of a cheery christmas :oD
ReplyDeleteeach of us is making up our vodka simply by tipping in our favourite sweets and leaving it to dissolve... so far we have pear drop, sherbet lemons, cola cube and sour apple! yum! try it!!!
xxx
I'd never be so rude as to refuse Mulled wine [in the cold of a Christmas market so the warmth permeated my gloves] but a winter pimms [where did this pring from, and what a fine, intuitive idea] with warm apple juice makes a scrumptious night cap!
ReplyDeletexx
My absolute favourite tipple (hard to choose, I love so many) is sloe gin made by me from berries our family gathered from the local hedgerows two years before, soaked in sugar and gin for a year, then bottled and matured for a further year.
ReplyDeleteOf course, one CAN drink it earlier and jolly nice it is too (and nicely jolly-making )but the maturer version is so much richer, the colour so much more jewel-like and the scent so much heavenlier that it really is worth the wait.
Cheersz!!!
After all these years of hiding the truth about my true festive fancy... I can finally admit that my FAVOURITE Christmas drink is a sweet, dark nectar... SHERRY!!! Not only were you domestic-sluts tweeting about Sherry a little while ago, Women's Hour are discussing this nectar like drink today!!! I always **Knew** I was a trend setter! ;) *Cheers* x
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas tipple is Irish cream liqueur. Mmm... wish I had one right now!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered my favourite at my local cinema - hot chocolate with a shot of ameretto, then whipped cream on top!
ReplyDeleteI love mulled wine and mulled cider. So warming and festive! RT'd @misslongstockin
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas tipple is mulled cider. Drinking it at our local Christmas market whilst wrapped up in the largest scarf I can find in the evenings with my friends is what Chrsitmas is all about!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas tipple is Festive Cherry Pie - Amaretto, Cranberry juice & a jaunty cocktail cherry. Yum! Merry Sluttery Christmas everyone! Ali (@Perfumegirl74) xx
ReplyDeleteI be Rum me hearties.
ReplyDeleteNice glass of whisky. It's good for - bad days, celebration days, headaches, colds, stress, enjoying in company and quiet times alone. You can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a drinker myself...but the year we added cherry brandy to the xmas puds/christmas cake mix was extremely tasty!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite as festive as mulled wine. Although a glass of baileys while putting up the Christmas is tradition!
ReplyDeleteTea wise - Yorkshire with Chai AND rooibos (xmas xcess). Ales most of the day then g&t when family arrive.
ReplyDeleteMulled cranberry juice (if I'm feeling virtuous) with a shot of cointreau (if, more likely, I''m not!)
ReplyDeleteHomemade Baileys using my Gran's receipe. So much nicer and with a much bigger kick! :-)
ReplyDeletePick just one drink??
ReplyDeleteFrom all the many and varied drinkies on offer at this festive time??
Blimey!
I have thought long and hard about this (well, for at least as long as it took to read all the other comments) and it has to be...
Tea.
Yes, boring old, normal old tea.
Tea warms you up after your frosty Christmas morning walk, tea revives you on Boxing Day morning when you're feeling the previous day's excesses, tea goes perfectly with a big chunk of fruity, boozy Christmas cake, tea works for everyone in the whole family, tea makes you feel all virtuous for not choosing booze, tea is the drink of champions (probably).
so, here's to a nice cup of tea (hopefully made in my new Duth by Design teapot??)
ClaireK
MULLED WINE!!
ReplyDeleteDuth by Design? who are they??
ReplyDeleteOf course, I meant Dutch!
It has to be a Cosmopolitain. Mum and I make them every year and drink them while we peel the veg on christmas eve. Dad always wonders why he gets odd shaped veg in his christmas dinner :-)
ReplyDeletea lovely glass of drambuie, reminds me of my mum :)
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a good glass of red wine, any time of year. So that's my favourite Christmas tipple.
ReplyDeleteHello all!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of all the tipples for Christmas is a double Amaretto with coke, and wedges (so you can then suck all the juice out later!) of orange. Sounds a little weird, but tastes a little like a chocolate orange (the best of all the christmas chocolates)! Truely scrumptious I promise!
Happy first of Christmas everyone
Penelope Patrick x x x
Christmas means its time to crack open my sloe gin, drunk either neat or with lemonade. Ding dong!
ReplyDeleteGot to be a ridiculously calorific peppermint hot chocolate with cream and chocolate shavings :)
ReplyDeleteLovely tea set, good choice ladies xx
Hot chocolate with whipped cream, and Baileys. And I always leave a glass of mulled wine out for Santa, too.
ReplyDeleteMay not be original - looking at the other suggestions! - but Baileys hot chocolate (with extra chocolate), marshmallows, and maybe even cream with chocolate sprinkles... after all, it is cold outside so you need extra energy.
ReplyDeleteTry this one girls -
ReplyDelete2 shots of Tia Maria,
top up with Orange juice -
IT TASTES LIKE JAFFA CAKES!!
Katy Clement xx
mmm a hot Chocolate with rum or baileys, just the right thing during the cold weather. Rum in black tea is quite nice too, but I guess the hot chocolate with a bit of rum would be my choice.
ReplyDeleteBig, fat hot chocolate with veggie marshmallows.
ReplyDeleteDifficult. I am rather partial to a magnum of Veuve Cliquot vinatge on Christmas Day, but then there is the mulled wine after walking the dogs...
ReplyDeleteVeuve Cliquot vintage wins as that is the only time of year I splurge on the vintage.
Feliz Navidad!
Well, my dad makes a pretty mean Eggnog but I still prefer a well spiced Mulled Wine!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Domestic Sluttesses!
A Gin and Tonic whilst preparing the Brussel Sprouts for the Christmas feast is the only Christmas tipple for me...apparently there's a new Christmas flavoured Gin available this year too... yum yum!
ReplyDeletehttp://londonist.com/2010/12/new-london-winter-gin-from-beefeater.php
mine is always baileys and jamesons - yum yum!
ReplyDeletePipping hot Mulled wine with lots of cinnamon! mmmm toasty!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? I'm a seventies child so it has to be a Snowball of course!
ReplyDeleteI've discovered straight sloe gin for the first time this year. That's definitely my fave :)
ReplyDeleteAmaeretto with a squeeze of lime and a hint of regret x
ReplyDeleteI am also a late seventies/early eighties child... so I am joining the 'Snowball Fan Club'.
ReplyDeleteIt was my one opportunity of the year (when I was still knee high to a cerise and royal blue leg warmer) to drink alcohol... and it came in the form of a delicious, frothy snowball with a glacé cherry on a cocktail stick. If Mum wasn't looking, my sister and I would also add a scoop of ice-cream on top.
It reminds me of watching Jason And The Argonauts on Christmas Eve, and regalling the Christmas Tree festooned with hankies(?).
ND: Did anybody else's mum put cotton handkerchiefs on their Christmas tree?!?!
It has to be Bailey's or a proper home-made mulled wine.......is it too early for one now??
ReplyDeleteTia Maria and Baileys mixed together over some ice! Can't stand them on their own but mixed together = YUM!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide between Baileys, Mulled Cider and Brandy Blazer. Baileys is acceptable to drink all day at Christmas but the other two are perfect for the evening when you have just come in from the freezing cold and need to warm up.. They smell so festive too
ReplyDeleteMmmm mulled wine....
ReplyDeleteLast year we mulled some K cider. Refreshingly different.
ReplyDeleteI love chai milk steamers at Christmas time - probably because four years ago when I was studying in Brighton, they made the 6.45am December trains bearable from London Victoria (where the AMT stand was that sold them). Mmmm!
ReplyDeleteTis the season for Sailor Jerry Spiced rum..that bottle gets sloshed in all my mincemeat & xmas pudding mixes as well as my mouth. Also very tempted to try spicing up some alcoholic ginger beer this year...
ReplyDeletePimms Winter!! I love the smell of spiced apple goodness. Plus, we dont have it in the US - so it's a quintessential British winter treat!
ReplyDeleteAfter careful consideration because I have many favourites, I have chosen Baileys Hot Chocolate - yummy.
ReplyDeleteOoo it's a close call - mulled wine, spiced cider and gingerbread lattes all up there! But I think mulled wine wins.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be port, sipped whilst snuggled up next to a roaring fire...
ReplyDeleteSnowball! Advocat and lemonade. I love it at Christmas even though my boyfriend refuses to order it at the bar, he thinks I'm 30 going on 80. mmm snowball! xx
ReplyDeleteI only ever drink alcohol at Christmas and it is always Sherry - makes a change from the squillions of gallons of tea I drink the rest of the year. However I am making limoncello (from the Domestic Sluttery post a couple of weeks ago) for presents but I may keep a little back to sample myself this Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be Disaronno Amaretto - on ice in a good solid glass tumbler that needs both hands wrapped around it to lift!
ReplyDeleteThere's also a half pint of gin keeping schtum in the tea pot (for emergencies!)!
Baileys, I only ever drink it around Christmas so it always makes me feel very festive!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOh, the choice! Mulled wine, or egg nogg lattes or cranberry and ameretto. Mmm... Bakewell tart in a glass.... :o) I think it has to be the latter for pure happiness factor!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade Eggnog more than anything at Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteSpiced rum!
ReplyDeleteCointreau and lemonade, yum :)
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh, moscow mules for me!
ReplyDeleteFor me (living here in Germany), it's got to be Jagertee - it's a lovely tea, with a shot of some sort of clear Schnapps in it. It's a don't ask sort of thing for me - it's tasty and lovely when it's cold out, and as long as I don't know what is in it, all the better!
ReplyDeleteMulled wine, although when in Norway last year my boyfriend's parents taught me to appreciate the Christmas-y-ness of Akvavit!
ReplyDeleteThere's almost nothing better than a hot chocolate with a shot of amaretto. Oh and maybe some whipped cream on top - perfect!
ReplyDeleteA very old fashioned port & lemon
ReplyDeleteWell I don't drink alcohol other than at Christian celebrations, so at Christmas I love having a Snowball! (Dutch Advocaat and Lemonade) What a treat!
ReplyDeleteCan't choose between mulled wine, sherry and champagne...Oh, all right, mulled wine:-)
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of mulled cider. But will always end the night on champagne.
ReplyDeleteI know it is not a drink specific to Christmas but it has to be a tumbler filled with Baileys and 4 ice cubes... yes, four! Mmmm....
ReplyDeleteFor me its Snowballs all the way baby...Warninks Advocaat, lemonade and a touch of lime. My mum used to buy a bottle every Christmas and hide it in the wardrobe with the pressies so my dad wouldn't drink it before Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be a highlights white chocolate hot chocolate but made with full fat milk and baileys with squirty cream on the top! (plus because it's low calorie hot chocolate I think it makes me nearly as saintly as the angel on the top of my tree). x
ReplyDeleteThere are so many to choose from but I have to go with eggnog and rum with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Not to be consumed in excessive quantities of course...that would ruin the office Xmas party for sure!
ReplyDeleteBecause we're the awesomely multi-faceted creatures we are, I believe we may all have a variety of "tipples."
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and impetuous, I favored Champagne no matter what.
As I matured, it was Disaronno on the rocks.
Now I love a good red wine-- preferably one had for under $10.00. (Yes, they DO still exsist ladies...)
Hmm that's a hard one! I'd have to go with warm cider I think
ReplyDeletePersonally I partake in a generous Advocaat and lemonade around the Christmas season, I think its in my blood- my granny used to drink one EVERY night without fail, what a legacy!
ReplyDeleteI'm pregnant this year, so facing a very sober Christmas. My favourite non-boozy Christmas drink is a hot chocolate with cream, and cinammon and nutmeg sprinkled on the top. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAt this time of the year I bow to my German heritage and tipple on Rumtopf. It needs making in the summer (which requires a fair amount of forethought), you get a glut of summer berries, cover in sugar and top up with rum, then leave in a dark place in its ceramic pot until Christmas time. Or the end of November, if, like me, you get desperate. Yummy, rummy, fruity, spicy goodness, excellent with Lebkuchen or cheese and biscuits.
ReplyDeleteSanta always leaves a large baileys with ice :)
ReplyDeleteBucks fizz with bacon sandwiches for Christmas Day breakfast - heaven!
ReplyDelete[email protected]
Christmas tipple has to be Baileys - in a baileys latte tho' with whipped cream on top!
ReplyDeleteLuvin' the little ladies bathing in cups! cute xx
:)
ooh - i did a little tweet too @josie301
ReplyDeleteI popped along to the dutch by design site too and gosh do they have some cute stuffs! x
For a double booze hit (any excuse) it has to be hot spiced cider with a cheeky shot of spiced rum. Served in a tea pot! The Christmas karaoke soon gets going after a few teacup's full. Not that I need any motivation to sing last Christmas at the top of my lungs!!
ReplyDeleteCall me old fashioned but it has to be a Snowball (Advocat & lemonade). They always remind me of my gran.
ReplyDeleteA little bit of brandy in a warm glass of milk.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be mulled wine hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that everyone has a different recipe for it yet it's always delicious!
Vicki x
Spiced warm cider ... at the German Market .. yum !
ReplyDeleteMulled cider! Although, if it works out, I'm hoping the ginger and cardamon vodka I have infusing in a dark cupboard takes the top spot this xmas!
ReplyDeleteHot Buttered Rum - YUM!
ReplyDeleteHomemade mulled wine all the way!
ReplyDeleteMulled wine, Ameretto, Baileys, all good. Can't beat a nice glass of bubbly though. Mmm! (or three...)
ReplyDeleteMine is Babysham, I'm a little bit mortified to admit that!
ReplyDeleteMulled wine - not from a kit or mulling bag but from fresh ingredients. Much better.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE making Irish Coffees after Xmas dinner and getting the cream just right - but alas I don't like to drink them - so it's the V-Plan (aka Vodka) all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteMulled cider
ReplyDeleteProbably a spiced apple martini. My brand new boyfriend made these for breakfast on christmas day. Thirteen years later my husband ad I start every christmas with this spicey boozy glass of vodka goodness
ReplyDeleteGoldschlager and hot chocolate! How can you resist little pieces of gold floating in chocolate? A cup of heaven
ReplyDeleteMidori, pineapple and coconut cream. I'll drink it any time to be honest ;) . @KatDray
ReplyDeleteHome made mulled wine. It's the only time of year we drink it.
ReplyDeleteMulled wine
ReplyDeleteTweeted @bofferminx
my fave xmas tipple, Baileys on the rocks! simples! x
ReplyDeleteYogi spice tea-ayurvedic magic especially if accompanied by a clementine and a mince pie.
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate with a shot of rum, whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
ReplyDeleteSorted.
Ginger wine! Very warming on a cold, dark night.
ReplyDelete(@theamorousprawn on twitter)
Its a great festive dilema but im opting for:
ReplyDeleteHot Mocha with Baileys.
There's coffee, chocolate & alcohol, whats not to love whilst sat infront of the fire!
A full-bodied burgundy.
ReplyDeleteRainbow tea
ReplyDelete(@looseflorence)
Oooh you can't beat a lovely hot glass of mulled wine. But I'm also thinking that Miss Cay's limoncello is going to give that a run for its money! 3 weeks til tasting time! :)
ReplyDeleteMulled wine for me as well, need it at the moment its so cold!
ReplyDeleteSimon.
@cobbiecollinge
Warm milk with a shot of Tia Maria. Go on try it. It's like warm coffee milkshake. Lish.

ReplyDeleteAnything alcoholic usually does me :)

Black Russian - over lots of ice - Yum!
ReplyDelete@Kayfoz
Mulled Wine - Home made of course :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is either champagne, or vodka and orange.
ReplyDeleteTia Maria & Orange Juice, tastes like Terry's Choc Orange

Ooh my favourite tipple has to be Baileys with lots of ice!!!! Yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love Baileys coffee flavour! Jen Rogers
ReplyDeletecup of tea!
ReplyDeleteThe usual. Vodka and lemonade! :oD
ReplyDelete@woosh55 on Twitter
Snow balls are a must for christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Santa on this one & go for a sherry - always plenty knocking about this time of year - tend to leave the carrot though
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Cake Cocktail, equal measures of port and amaretto, over ice, with a maraschino cherry.....heavenly!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas tipple is Bucks Fizz with breakfast on Christmas morning! xx
ReplyDeleteHome made mulled wine - can't beat it!
ReplyDeleteOh, or a nice glass of champagne. It would be rude not to.
Well, usually I love mulled wine or Bellinis but this year I will be drinking Sloe Vodka which I made back in September.
ReplyDeleteGluhwein has to be the winner for Christmas drinks. We went to the German markets in Edinburgh last night and had a 'Schneeman punch' - Gluhwein, amaretto, rum, cream and cinnamon. It certainly packed a punch and warmed us up in the snowy weather!!
ReplyDeleteWhat we call a Blueberry Tea: a shot each of amaretto and Grand Marnier in a brandy snifter, with some nice hot Earl Grey tea on top.
ReplyDeleteSounds strange, but tastes great when you've come in from shovelling snow!
Its got to be tea!
ReplyDeleteA big cup of milky sweet redbush tea . . . it's all I can face after all that festive food!
ReplyDeletei love a tequila sunrise with the heating on full blast - it makes me think that i'm spending christmas on a beach somewhere. if i win i promise to use this set to pour my tequila sunrise this year & send u photos of it being put to good use ;-)
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate here, sorry.
ReplyDeleteOrdinarily I love a mulled wine or a snowball. Christmas morning always calls for a glass of champagne with an hibiscus flower! However, this year I will be 8 months pregnant so the most exciting I'm likely to get is a hot chocolate!
ReplyDeleteBailey's...always reminds me of christmas morning....x
ReplyDeleteJust like The Gilmore Girls mine is candy cane flavoured coffee. Hard to get hold of over here but when you do it's sheer bliss.
ReplyDeleteI've been known to try and replicate it with instant coffee and a few of Sainsbugger's humbugs come the summer months.
In my preggers state, all alcohol is terribly and sadly off limits. Makes me sick as a dog. My drinking nirvana is now a cup of hot orange squash. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteEggnog! Especially if it's said by kiwis!
ReplyDeleteLove, Cate and Pari xxxxx
Ooooh , a smidge of sherry for me please. In a dainty old glass with scratches -
ReplyDeleteI'm practicing for the days when I can embarrass my children and future grand-children with my Christmas spirit
Christmas was made for tipsy old ladies and sherry
Kir Royale,
ReplyDeleteDelish any time of the day
Pippa in France :O)
Mulled Wine is my favourite Christmas tipple, goes perfect with cold winter nights, raisins, nuts and ginger biscuits.... mmmmmm tasty
ReplyDeleteI love sherry whilst helping my mum cook, so warming, reminds me of winter everytime i have a glass :)
ReplyDeleteBailey over ice. Whilst building my tree like now
ReplyDeletePimms!

ReplyDeleteNow I'm at home warming up with my favourite christmas tipple - warm cider with spiced rum. Bliss!
Egg nog
ReplyDeleteBaileys over ice
ReplyDeleteNot actually a drink but my great grandmother used to mae fruit cake & turn it upside down, poke half a dozen holes in the bottom & top them up with rum, every time it was soaked up the rum would be topped up...
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely verging on a rather potent tipple after a week or so of this treatment!
Otherwise I have to go for the traditional big steaming saucepan of mulled wine!
A nice glass of Jack Daniels - neat, no phaffing around with ice, and a small cup of excellent coffee as a chaser.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm too late but what the hell! Love the teaset.
