Cooks and drinks for the Holidays!

Car Wash Mike

With the Prime Rib, turkey and other fantastic cooks going on. What about Holiday drinks? After visiting the the store today (15 today Max and no luck but got a good lead). Found a 6 pack of Buckhorn light and a bunch of Vodka Twisters. Strawberry, Lemon, ect.[p]Just looking for good Holiday drinks for my annual party? I'm also tired of the Gin and Tonic.[p]CWM

Car Wash Mike,
you'll fall back in love with your gin and tonic if you ever experience tequilla and rootbeer with a twist of lime.......hehehehe

Car Wash Mike,
I saw this one on FoodTV but have not tried it as of yet. Hot apple cider spiked with cinnamon schnaps...sounds festive to me, but so does Jack and Coke.[p]DrR

Hooter,
Aww man! We have some Swedish friends, and they just had a glogg party last week! Yum. Man it was addicting, and real easy to drink. It was not any stronger than wine (well, maybe a tad due to evaporation). [p]I did not get a recipe, but I did see what they did. They took burgandy wine and heated it with a mixture of cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom and almonds. Maybe there was some other spices, but I think these were the key flavors.[p]The warm spiced wine is spooned into a cup with a few almonds and raisins. You sip the glogg, and spoon out the almonds and the raisins after they are soaked through. I can taste it now. It was really good.[p]Happy holiday drinking!

QSis,
Cool. Now that I see it written, there was definitely sugar in there. It was pretty sweet. I did not see the brandy go in, but I was definitely feeling a bit of a tingle after 4 of 'em. ~~ [p]You should give it a try. It sounds right up your alley!
Cheers!!

drbbq,
Some creme de menthe would serve the same purpose (and more!) as green food colouring, wouldn't it? ;-)

Car Wash Mike,
i'm probably the wrong person to weigh in on this one. .my drink of choice goes just a well with any food, at any time of the day or night. . .best vintage is last week. . .and you can drink as much of it as you like and not need a designated driver. . .my drink of choice. . .classic coca cola. . .

mad max beyond eggdome,
You should move down here Max to be closer to the Mother Ship, both of them.[p]I'm a confirmed life long fan of the best beverage ever.

Hooter

Nature Boy,[p]And the really fun part of the recipe we use is that you get to light it on fire right after you put the sugar in there. Yee haw!

Car Wash Mike,
here is a Christmas tradition its called apple pie and you can even use the green egg to keep it warm for passing the jug. But remember this is a sipping drink.

Title: Apple Pie
Categories: Beverage
Yield: 8 Servings

3 c Southern Comfort (100 Proof)
1/2 gal. Unfiltered Apple Juice
1 T Apple Pie Spice
1 T Cinnamon
4-5 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1/2 gal. Crock Jug
Cheese Cloth For Spices

Put southern comfort in to the jug. Heat apple juice and sugar in a pot with the apple pie spice tied in cheese cloth or panty hose, simmer for about 5 minutes, add the apple juice mixture to the jug with the southern comfort serve warm. This a great drink to have around a camp
fire. You can keep it warm by setting it near the fire.[p][p][p][p]
