So, what do you enjoy a snifter of at christmas?

[Ket]

Thats right guys, what do you enjoy a snifter of at christmas? For me its Jack daniels (just with ice or mixed) or Russian vodka. Hits the palette perfectly for me

[hawkeyefan]

Alright Mr. Simpson, we just have a few questions before we begin your physical.

Do you drink?

- I do enjoy the occasional snifter of port at Christmas.

Have you suffered any heart attacks?

-None. Oh, no, wait... three.

Right now I'm enjoying a snifter 'o Jameson, but usually it's tequila for me.

The only thing I drink out of the norm around the holidays is a nice traditional eggnog or hot toddy.

[Splave]

Holiday drinks for me are white russians and hard cider

[jason str]

Crown Royal is one of my favorites but anything that gives me a buzz will do.

[Kai Robinson]

Bourbon. Neat. Lots of it.

[bullet2urbrain]

Single Malt Scotch. Neat. No water, No Ice.

But when I'm around the family and can't be boozin hard. I usually go with some quality beer. Either a nice Abbey Quad (Abt 12) or something dark and roasty ( Great Lakes Blackout Stout)

My normal drink of choice though, anymore is Hendricks and Tonic with Cucumber

I like a good whiskey, but being underage (19) I cant really be picky :\

That sounds so odd to me. Drinking age being 18 in Canada and all.

Anyways, I like a good White Russian with Grey Goose. Some good Canadian whiskey (Crown Royal, Wiser's) once in awhile, but I'm a vodka guy 90% of the time.

[Jamesrt2004]

underage... but meh ... lol i still get served anywhere etc..

but I normally end up drinking random bttles or port and/or whisky that around my house over the x-mas period, dont really like it unless its watered down with coke

but still good ol times

[STEvil]

Butterscotch rum

I'm a fiend for Tequila and Martini's but anything Vodka based gives me horrible stomach cramps...

[MikeB12]

non alchy since I was 29 yrs old (11 yrs ago).. health issues, doc said stop or die... didn't help.. my liver still died 8 yrs later, but it was too late when I quit anyway, I was already on that road.. stopping just made the end of the road farther away.

anyway, the only thing I can think of that I drink at xmas time and no time else is: eggnog, hot apple cider, and homemade hot chocolate (just because I have an aunt that makes it every year, she passes out containers of it every year.. pretty good- it's powdered, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmellows.. I have no idea what else is in it).

so how's that in a thread full of alchy's.

We aren't alcoholics... we prefer to be called "alcohol appreciators"

Some of my favourite mixes;

JD with a dash of russian vodka, mixed with pepsi max and served with ice
Russian vodka with pepsi max and ice, or with orange and ice
Rum & Oasis

[Kai Robinson]

I might indulge in a blitzkrieg - you know, 5 shots of rum in a pint glass over crushed ice, topped off with coke and a twist of lime...

[Ket]

Ooff! Now thats a surefire way to get yourself wasted rather quickly Being from somerset though, your probably used to that kind of stuff

ED - Oops missed the "pint" bit. Thats not too bad then, before I saw "pint glass" I was thinking all that shoved into a half-pint glass

[Kai Robinson]

I should change that, i grew up in London, and only lived in Somerset til September this year :p

Although - 2 pints of thatchers cider will get you properly twatted - 14% ABV in each one....and it tastes like rough apple juice!

[Ket]

I never heard of that cider.. anywhere you can buy it or is it "pub only" brew?

and..and.. your now living in france! Wherever your hiding your teleporter, I want one too

[Kai Robinson]

Well yeah i bought a house here

And Thatchers is available, but only really around the west country and the pub i was living in got the 'special' pub-only cider kegs

Thankfully i can still purchase a 1 gallon keg for £18

[Ket]

You lucky git! Being able to buy a 1 gallon keg for £18! Talking of kegs, you tried one of those Carlsberg freezer keg things? They are awesome for when the footie is on! All you have to do is turn your head slightly, can keep one eye on the match and the other on the freezer keg (to make sure nobody tries swiping any of its precious contents )

Love the Crown royal..

Nectar of the gods

[Ket]

I never tried CR.. what makes this "Nectar of gods" so special?
