Drinks

I know we are supposed to share BGE tips but we need something to wash down all these good eats.  Anyone make anything special for the holiday's to drink?  I am not a fan of egg nog so that one is out.  I did Brandy Alexanders a couple of years ago.  A little strong for those who do not enjoy liquor but I thought it was great for the season.

What are your favorites?

Hard not to like Bailey's Irish Cream but that can become expensive. I have a recipe for a knock off of Bailey's which isn't all that bad when your guests are not Bailey snobs nor expect to see you pouring the actual from the bottle. Want it?

Warm apple cider with Goldschlager and a cinnamon stick isn't too shabby.

@DoubleEgger the only good part about goldschlager is... When you throw up... You think you are rich

Sounds good but the sight of goldschlager brings back too many bad memories.

Alaskan Smoked Porter.
A dark, robust body and pronounced smoky flavor.  Alaskan Smoked Porter is produced in limited “vintages” each year on November 1.

Vodka, Cranberry, a little simple syrup and top off with sparkling wine. Easy and sooo good. If you like rum: 4 parts apple cider, one part rum, top off with either ginger beer or hard cider. I prefer the later.

Oh, and to the above....that is Captain Jack's for the rum.

Prosecco or champagne with some pomegranate seeds dropped in. Very festive looking and the women love it.

^^^^^^ with raspberries, also a winner.  Mint Juleps for the rest is very festive.  Use good bourbon.

Santas little helper is my personal favorite but it sells out quick r
