Traditional drinks at christmas

What is the drink you always buy at christmas even if you don't normally drink them?

We will always make sure we have a bottle of baileys in even though neither of us really loves it. It's just for any guests really.
I love to have a full drinks cupboard of allsorts just so anyone who calls round has something to drink but oh moans it's a waste!
I am always compelled to have bacardi, JD & vodka in ust in case too :lol:

  • Champagne! Although we do drink champagne or Cava all year round as it is my favourite. Christmas morning without a glass of bucks fizz is completely un-imaginable :lol:

  • i love baileys and that tends to be my christmas treat. My PIL always go way over board on the booze at christmas and will buy everybody there own drink, either a bottle of spirits... or a crate of beer or what have you, the family only go round for one day and none of us are huge drinkers so theres always tonnes left over and they spend months finishing it off! i think it's such a waste of money, and always tell them i don't want anything and i'll just pinch a couple of OH's cans!
  • My new favourite drink is Disaronno on ice...mmmmmmm
  • mmm yummy mummy i forgot to mention that one - i love disaronno!! yum yum. it's gorgeous with cranberry juice, if you make sure it's a double, it tastes like marzipan. yum yum.
  • Well ive bought some Champers this year to have on Xmas Morning!also got a mulled wine kit so i can make some to have on Xmas Eve!!
    Usually its Baileys and for afew yrs my mum always got that Sheridans..the black and white drink!!lol
  • Anything really!! Baileys is a good one.
    Try it poured over vanilla ice-cream then top with crushed Maltesers - mmmmmm yummy!!
    We'll be at the in-laws over Xmas and they'll have every drink under the sun there.
  • Baileys is my all-time favourite image In fact when people asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year I said "Baileys" (having not been able to drink for 9 months) - it's going to be a good Christmas! :lol:

  • I love Baileys but only with loads of ice! If no ice then forget it! Mmmm baileys.

  • e've got our xmas booze in - just a couple of cases of strongbow for hubby, a case of boddies for the grandads (who are both driving so ill only have one each anyway) and red and white wine for us. My gran has port and lemonade, and my sister has a snowball, so thats it for us at xmas...
