Xmas Traditions / Drinks?

[calluma11]

Hey,
This was a tough one to locate the right place to put it..

Just wondering if anyone has any Christmas Day drinks/traditions?

I'd like to think that last year (my first homebrew year) I started what could become a tradition and my family were getting themselves into quite a state trying my various drinks.
Now admittedly, most of them were flavoured drinks: sloe gin, blackberry whisky, chilli vodka.. but I did have some cider I'd made.

This year I've got many wines lined up, cider, apple & cinnamon vodka/gin, Robinsons Fruit & Barley punch (for the drivers) and possibly a Canadian Blonde.


What are you going to be dishing out Xmas day?

My wife always buys a decent bottle to go with Christmas dinner, after that we will be drinking my cheap muck. :lol:

After that first bottle and copious amounts of food, i doubt it'll matter anyway

Champaign/Bucks Fizz for breakfast, the rest of the day sorts itself out :)

Haha us too, then the blokes go off to the local pub (30 seconds walk - brill!) and return just as Xmas Lunch is ready - thats when the fun really starts!

Champagne cocktails first thing:
Bubbly, brandy, angostura bitters and a sugar cube.
2 or 3 get the day off to a good start.
