Ex-Moderator | I mull wine too!
I usually just throw some star anise and all spice and cinnamon sticks (all whole) and maybe a peppercorn or two into a couple bottles of a decent red on the stove, heat slowly (so as not to burn the alcohol off) and add a cup of sugar when its warm. It is sooooo yummy!! I'm making some next weekend. |

Oprah showed a variation on a cosmo, using pomegranate in place of the cranberry juice. I've never had pomegranate juice before, but alot of pepople seem to like it.
You can also make a variation on a cosmo, make it more of a cocktail, by using that cranberry ginger ale instead of the cranberry juice. Just add the pop last, don't shake it in the mixer with the rest of the stuff. Mint juleps are good too. Not really an xmas drink, but the mint and the green are kind of christmassy. I can never get it to taste good using real crushed mint leaves, so I just do a splash of spearmint schnapps instead. I think the recipe is just crush up some mint leaves, add simple syrup, and bourbon, shake it up and pour it on ice. I do bourbon, spash of spearmint shcnapps, and top it with soda water for a little fizz. X-Rated Fusion is also great on ice topped with just soda water, and toss a few cherries in for garnish. Sweet or Perfect Manhattans are classy too. Cocaine Lady's are good if you want something creamy... 1 part Stoli® Vanil vodka 1 part Kahlua® coffee liqueur 1 part Bailey's® Irish cream 1 splash Rumple Minze® peppermint liqueur 1 part milk | |

I like creamy cocktails in winter like Brandy Alexanders and After Eights:
Brandy Alexander 1.5 shots brandy 1 shot creme de cacao 1.5 shots cream Shake with ice, strain and dust with freshly-grated nutmeg. After Eight I've found so many recipes for these online but none are how I make them. I make them with the following ingredients and just adjust them until I get it right: Whisky (approx 1 part) Chocolate mint liquer (approx 2 parts) Cream to taste I mix all the ingredients up, add ice and strain. | |
