I need some drinks to make for everyone tomorrow and on Thursday, drinks that mostly everyone (if not everyone) will like.

The only thing I've got at the moment is a recipe for apple cidertinis, and I'd rather have at least 2 other drinks to serve, so if you wouldn't mind making some suggestions/recommendations, that'd be great.

So, what's an appropriate winter drink?

Alcoholic? Mulled wine is always good. Try Hot Toddys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_toddy) too.

Whisky Mack - whisky with a dash of Stone's ginger wine

Hot buttered rum

Yeah, alcoholic. *nod*

After reading about Hot Toddys just now, I realized that we're already set with a drink like that, but not everyone drinks that, usually just the people who intend on getting drunk. *shrug*

Homemade eggnog (Julia Child has a great recipe) made with cognac and bourbon.

A bit thick (it's slightly cooked, to make it more of a whipped custard). Deadly, and it tastes great.

sorry, I don't drink alcoholic stuff.

but for those who don't want the buzz (or for the kiddies) Hot chocolate with a hint of peppermint extract. Hot Peppermint chocolate... mmmmm.

feck, those were the only two decent ones I could think of!

Another seasonally appropriate non-denominational cocktail (as long as you are in the correct portion of the northern hemisphere) would be a snowball (http://www.in-the-spirit.co.uk/cocktails/view_cocktail.php?id=241)

it looks a bit like jizz, but some party guests like that.

Hot 100 with hot apple cider. Or just some Hot 100.

spiced wine. / mulled
you can use cheap table wine and it still taste wonderful.

a quick way to heat the wine i have found is have a pan full of water boil it then place the opened bottle in it. then pull the bottle out before the wine boils (may have to drink 2 glasses before warming in this manner but your sacrifice is well respected)

Irish coffee.

Hot apple cider + Burbon = King of all Winter Drinks.

Kahlua in coffee.
Bailey's in coffee.

Creme de Cacao works well in coffee too.

Yes, it does.

Oh, and Creme de Menthe in hot chocolate.

Yes, it does.

I have to try that sometime.

I tried Creme de Menthe in peppermint tea once, it wasn't bad.

Everclear on the rocks.

You posted what looked like a great recipe a couple years back. I never made it, but it looked sufficiently alcoholic to be quite good...

White Russians taste pretty festive.

Yeah, alcoholic. *nod*

So many times I've had to explain to Continental Europeans that the drink is also medicinal. None of them believed me til they got sick :tongue:

I need to get my ass up to the northern hemisphere. Those sound like some kick-ass drinks. For me, Christmas is happiest with Pimms at 4pm, but I'm sure that wouldn't have the same effect when it's snowing.

What are we going to do tomorrow night, call to power?

Okay, now this I've got to try. The commercial alone made me do it - but it [I]will/I] be spiked!

Yes, it does.

Oh, and Creme de Menthe in hot chocolate.
Or peppermint schnapps.

Everclear on the rocks.
Are you trying to get someone killed?

It's pretty tasty! It should stay that way, provided your mixer is a suitable one. Let us know how it went. :)

what kind of free shit, like booze? or just t-shirts?

Three parts Stolichnaya 100 proof, one part gordon's gin (green bottle), dash of kina lillet. Shake vigorously until ice cold. Add a long thin slice of lemon peel. Serve in a martini glass with a holly garnish.

Drink until dead.

sounds like you'll only need about two of those to achieve that.
