Got Holiday Drinks?

[Paperback Writer]

Tis the season to be jolly, ho-ho-ho, memories, nostalgia, old-friends, new friends, short dark days, long glittering lit nights, misletoe and hugs and kisses.......maybe the dranks came after - or before - but - past-present-future drink reccomendations wanted here!

Angel's Kiss: Part cream, Frangelico and Amoretto, stir it up and share with a lady!

Your Christmas, New Years's and Winter Drink selections WANTED!

not that much into the egg noggy thingy...however, when wanting to relax after a long, hard day...it never hurts to sit back and sip on a nice absolut black russian. but you kids out there be careful...if you have to drink...drink in moderation...and never get behind the wheel of your car after drinking

[lampie1970]

when pondering this, i realize know I am not a sipper...I am an actual drinker....these are my favorites, will drink them whenever, wherever:

three wisemen: sounds great for the season, but alas, its a shot and you can go sober to drunk in 60 seconds - equal parts Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Jose Cuervo


irish car bomb: half pint guinness, shot of bailey's irish cream with a splash of 151 on top of the shot (some people use Amaretto though)

quaalude: equal parts Frangelico, Kaluha, Vodka

i like the flaming dr pepper and purple haze too...

and Celtic Crossing or Takara Plum Wine straight up anytime (i guess those are my sippers...)

so unless youre having the fraternity over, or the lampie, you probably cant use any of those....

WoW!  Booze Heaven!.  Those are so funny and I bet some are yummy!

The Italian cofee would require a cup as big as The Stanley Cup to fit all the booze in there.

Lampie, now did you get that name because of a -lamp-shade - you may have worn once, after consuming some of these beverages? (LOL). 

Thanks a bunch for those drinks, I can't stop laughing!   Excellent!

Just curious, Lampie, just what the hell did you drink before your McCartney Concert?

  Lampie, what kind of drink are you leaving out for Santa this year?  (I'm sure it's potent!)

[lampie1970]

As always, Kaluha and milk is my drink of choice. Regardless of the calendar, it's always a holiday!
