As we near Christmas lots of people seem to get really excited about drinking Baileys.

I can't stand the stuff.

My tastes are quite boring in that I really only like chilled white, rose or prosseco.

Is there anything a bit more exciting (but not too complicated) that I might like to drink - and to celebrate the season.

What is your favourite drink at this time of year?

I don't really drink now but I used to like Cointreau or Tia Maria or a dry sherry

Me too

I remember going to a friend's house last Christmas and having glass of strawberry daiquiri. Wow, it was gorgeous.

I don't see the point of alcohol free wine.

CocoPops, Catterygirl, and Lahlah, I can recommend the ready mixed Blood Orange Negroni by Marks and Spencer.
One of my SIL's will be very happy to see this in his Christmas present bag from me

Ooh - that sounds good, I’ll definitely be adding this to my Christmas list x

I too like Amaretto, though it might be too sweet for some people. I like fino sherry, or Jack Daniel’s with tonic water. Seeing the multitude of choices mentioned made me think of Scottish Hogmanays when I was a child in the 50’s when whisky, sherry and beer were the only drinks on offer. I remember when advocat was added to the options!
