FabSwingers.com forum: Christmas tipple

By (user no longer on site) OP

What's your favourite Christmas drink?

Amaretto and cantuccini biscuits dipped it in - my annual treat

Amarula as slightly fruity alternative to traditional Baileys..

And mulled wine of course.

Non boozy suggestions welcome as well

For someone who loves all lemony things I have not been that impressed. It was the slight bitterness of it which probably came from the zest. It was homemade though so I'd give it a go again. I'm sure tastes vary !

Usually buy a bottle of Glenmorangie for over Christmas, it's my favourite single malt. However I bought a bottle of Welsh Whiskey to try this year.

Berentzen Applecorn, straight from the freezer. Down in one for a warming hit of sour apples. Always finished a good session in the mess with Applecorns all around!

"What's your favourite Christmas drink?

Amaretto and cantuccini biscuits dipped it in - my annual treat

Amarula as slightly fruity alternative to traditional Baileys..

And mulled wine of course.

Non boozy suggestions welcome as well
