Christmas Cocktails

I'm sure this has been done but i can't find it in the archives.
Well it's almost December, any groovy new recipes/ Christmas drinks we should know about? Tell us about them and your other fave seasonal drinks (hot or cold) here!

rum 'n cream soda!

and of course tis the season for baileys + whatever

not cocktails, but:
eggnog
hot buttered rum
wassail punch
glugg

hot buttered hard cider too

december is white russian month at my house.

Surmounter I think you are my polar opposite in terms of beverage preferences.

ok but i LOVE eggnog

Whisky Mac obviously. Equal parts cheap whisky and ginger wine. Automatic mood improver and warmth giver. The sugar will give you energy and the alcohol alcohol.

Manhattan is nice. It looks a bit Christmas-y.

there are some good recipes on how to nom!

how do you make your eggnog, people?

we had champagne w/ creme de cassis the other night - it was very festive, i thought!

tehresa you were having a kir royale! Great drink. Classic champagne cocktails (champagne, sugar cube, bitters, lemon twist) are always festive at the holidays.

Good eggnog recipe:

thanks...looks yummy!

hah! i thought the kir royale was the sugar cube/bitters one, because i also had that! but no lemon twist.

champagne cocktails have always been my favorite festive thing, actually, but i never know hot to make them/where i can order them

This is a cocktail that I had at a fancy pants snotty cocktail place and it is delicious and feels appropriately decadent for holiday time:

2 oz Jameson's or Powers or similar
1 oz cream
1 oz sugar syrup (it's got to be Turbinado or Demerara or one of them kinds of sugar)
~ 1/2 oz (or to taste) of some really super duper smokey single malt (me and the fancy pants snotty cocktail place favor Ardbeg 10)
8-15 drops of orange flower water OR you can use like 1-3 drops of orange extract

Stir or shake and serve over ice.

can i ask what 'raspberry cocktail' is, when it's listed in a cocktail recipe?

thanks!

It's the Ocean Spray juice blend - CranRaspberry Cocktail.

Party tonight will have a vat of mulled wine (kept warm in the slow cooker), a vat of hot chocolate with available mix-ins of rum, kahlua, peppermint schnapps, irish cream, and/or brandy, and soy eggnog for the non-dairy non-alcohol contingent (though welcome to the mix-ins as well).

my stomach is gonna hate me but i can't wait!

ahhh the penny drops, thanks jaq.
