Xmas Morning Drinking........who has started then?

[Petunia]

I am about to start making the brandy butter - an annual excuse to reduce the stocks of less than ideal spiritous liquors that sit untouched at the back of the cupboard for the rest of the year. Should I use the Calvados, the Polish pear brandy, or the Czech plum brandy? Any advice would be welcomed. The decision will also involve a decision on what variety of alcohol will be the first to cross my lips this Christmas morning.

Taste them all and then decide....[emoji6]

I concour,let there be a bit of experitimitation and test as one goes so to speak.....LB could just produce the next big thing in the process too.

I think that I'd go for the calvados, but testing them isn't a bad idea either!

alcohol consumption for me starts at noon on the dot on Xmas day, with a bottle of bubbly.

Started with a shot of famous grouse in my coffee for breakfast at 9am. 3 whisky coffees so far. There is also a bottle of jäger and a pack of red bull to be consumed later. A lovely present from my mum. She knows me so well lol

Merry Christmas everyone

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

The family have just arrived, so chilled bottles of Monopole Heidsieck Blue Top popped. Cheers everyone

 

[Surf's Up]

A very large Sipsmith's and Tonic has just kicked the day off to an accelerated start. Champagne cocktails next methinks.

 

[vegster]

After a much delayed start it is Gin O'clock at last.

I went for the Czech plum brandy. It seemed to be the best accompaniment for a plum pudding. A Harvey's Christmas pudding bought a year ago, in the certain knowledge that a year's festering will improve it enormously.
