Christmas booze

[shirubagan]

This year, I will be drinking vegan White Russians. Lots of them.

• Almond Milk

• Vodka

• Kahlua

• Ice

Mix, pour, add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

What will be your drink of choice?

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

Pints of whiskey

[Boothjan]

Ale. Just lots of ale.

Bottles of Holdens Golden Glow, a polypin of Dark Star: American Pale Ale courtesy of my brother, and Bathams from the local.

I won't need anything else. Just lot and lots of ale.

[Tourist]

I've got 10 bottles of Rioja and 5 bottles of assorted Cabernet Sauvignon. Hoping they will last me the whole of Christmas and New Year - will supplement them with lager and sake to make them go further. Particularly looking forward to getting soused on warm sake all day on New Year's Day.

[jonamok]

A case of assorted Purity ales please, Santa.

[jonamok]

Ah, that takes me back about 20 years.

[shirubagan]

I'll probably neck a load of Punk IPA too. It's my current pub pint of choice.

[Gotters]

I just ordered a bottle of Sacred Xmas pudding gin - the standard Sacred is by far my fave gin, so intrigued to see what this is like

[Altabani]

I'll be two years off the booze this NYE so Soda and Lime for me.

[Superunknown]

Kraken black rum.

[Oracle]

Just spent £200 on wine, champagne and procecco

[RadgyAdgy]

A bottle of good Cognac or even better some Armagnac. I got a bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu this year as a special treat.

[Scribblor]

I need to get mixers in, but I'll be drinking:

Taylor's LBV port from tonight

Maynard's 40 year old tawny port from Monday 21st

Champagne on Yule (it's become something of a tradition for my wife and I as we get pulled to either my family or hers for actual Christmas, so we have a private celebration on our own just beforehand)

A bottle of Pouilly-Fume on Yule

A bottle of canadian ice wine on Christmas Eve

A bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape at Christmas

More generally:

Dark'n'stormy's made with belvoir ginger beer and Gosling's black rum

White Russians

Gin and tonics with either Sipsmiths or Adnams gin

And I've got an assortment of eighteen beers, including Skye Black (Isle of Skye brewery), Decadent Stout (Weird Beard), Santa's Secret (Nobby's brewery), Baton Rouge (Mallinson's), Red MacGregor (Orkney Brewing Company) and a few others I can't remember at the moment.

Oh, and some plum vodka that we get given every year from my wife's aunt and never get round to drinking until just before Christmas, when we hurriedly polish it off before the next one arrives.

[Wickedkitten]

Kraken black rum.

I don't know if it is still in stock but I ordered 1l from Amazon on Saturday for 25 quid.

[Fletch]

Whisky, currently got a bottle of Old Pultenay and Kilchonan and hoping I'll get a couple on the day. Other than that some sparkles of some kind and I'm currently enjoying a white wine resurgence. Pinot Grigio in particular.

Very nice, I am quite fond of LP. This year we drank Vilmart & Cie Grand Cellier

I am also really enjoying Graham's 10 YO Tawny Port.

[dunkle]

We had some vintage Berlucchi rose fizz for breakfast yesterday with a valpolicella ripassa and a zenato 1985 amarone (a gift from the zenato family) for lunch. Last night was a barbera and some single malt. Not normally a fan but I think dry January might be essential!
