frangelico hazelnut liqueur topped up with Prosecco.

tastes like a ferrero rocher.

[zakelwe]

My two pint pina colada always goes down well

1/3 pint rum
1/2 pint pineapple juice
1 large hand full of ice
3 large scoops of ice cream.

Mix together in a blender.

This is a sure fire way to get ladies receptive in summer, however it will be fantastic as well in winter. Easy to make as well.

1/3 pint rum Malibu

because it's not a pina colada without coconut!
(you could use coconut ice cream as an alternative)

[nick_j007]

Hic!

In shot glasses.

Lots of shot glasses.

A constant stream of alcoholic Terry's Chocolate Oranges.

Am actually liking the snow ball idea!

I know my folks will like them...casts me back to when I was a kid and they were being drunk over Christmas then (am 42 now).

Pina coladas sound rather good too!

another thumbsup for Snowballs. Woulndt be Christman without one

Pimms: not just for the summer.

or

Champagne cocktail: measure of brandy in a champers glass topped up with fizz.

Another one for Snowballs here, the recipe I use is:

One 2 litre jug
1 bottle Warniks Advocat
3 cans of diet 7up or Sprite
Quarter bottle of brandy (175ml)
Dash of Roses Lime cordial

I usually have all the above chiling in the fridge/freezer so no need to bother with ice.

Thanks, will probably go with that one. Is ice advisable if ingredients not chilled?

I would say so, might not be the best otherwise (although I've never tried it 'warm' to be fair).

One of our family christmas favourites is a White Lady:

* Ice cubes
* 2 parts gin
* 1 part Cointreau or Triple Sec
* 1 part lemon juice

No danger of it being a warm drink I can tell you! All stored in the garage as I type, plus I bought ice so we're ready to rock n roll around the Christmas tree!

Ironically, I'm not convinced our visitors will manage to get here due to weather

TVM for all the input on this thread everyone.

Just to clarify. Are these the quantities for a 2 litre qty of the drink? Mix all of it together as above. Sorry if I'm being dense.

Merry Christmas.
