    It is. I love it poured over ice. God it is freaking delicious.

    So chocolatey and delicious.

    I can't stand regular Baileys, but this one is fabulous.

    I've got some delicious coffee this year ordered from Hasbean.co.uk (http://www.hasbean.co.uk/collections/top-sellers/products/el-salvador-finca-argentina-estate-washed-bourbon) It's absolutely gorgeous. Expensive treat but worth it.

    As for le alcohol, I've been a year brewing my own beer at home so I have a ruby red ale which I shall be sampling tonight... for science.. Yes... science. This will most likely be my session beer if you will.

    I usually enjoy a nice glass of red wine with dinner but since I'm the only one who drinks red wine, it might get a bit dangerous. :pac: Might stick with white this year. We usually start of with Prosecco to go with our starters of salmon and home made brown bread.

    I do also love Jameson, ginger ale and a slice of lemon over ice. De-lish.

    Bailey's over ice is a perfect treat especially after a filling meal and serves to empty the stomach before the leftover sandwiches that evening with a cup of tea.

    I think... I think I might have a problem. :pac:

    I'm on crutches and very strong painkillers so my usual indulgence will be a bit curtailed, but hopefully it means I'll enjoy my one glass of prosecco with a bit of cassis thrown in all the more!

    Hope you're not in pain for too much longer.

    Processco with brunch, wine with dinner, port with cheese and maybe a small baileys at some point. It's my first Christmas in 5 years not being pregnant or breastfeeding so have some time to make up for!

    Also, kids are getting me a bottle of Woodford Reserve for Christmas, so Old Fashioned's all round!

    Mount Gay Rum
    Ginger Beer (not ale)
    With ice and lime wedge

    Lovely rum - I got a bottle of Appleton Estate for this year, don't think it's quite as nice tho - ice, lime juice and syrup. I'll try the ginger beer this year after reading that.

    It'll be Wicklow Wolf IPA for the beers, and a box of oranges for freshly squeezed OJ.

    I like to buy a nice bottle of whiskey that I haven't previously purchased. Open in Christmas day, my dad and a few friends call throughout the day and we have a few. Last year I bought green spot. This year it's 12 year old Redbreast

    Nice.... Nice choices too. I love a good whiskey.

    We usually overdose on Gin & Baileys on Christmas day. Lots of prosecco too...

    Those of you who drink Gin should check out Dingle Gin. It's sooo good. A few friends of mine who don't even like/drink Gin have tasted this and really like it. It's much smoother than a lot of other Gin's.

    Dingle is a fine gin. Love gin but can't drink many, one before dinner is nice as an aperitif. On a night out I might have one or two when I get sick of beer too

    Cup of tea is the first thing I have when I get up.

    Then we crack open the champagne (we love Monsigny Brut from Aldi...€19.99 and it's absolutely beautiful, way nicer than Moet and champagne experts agreed after a blind-taste test last year).

    We'll share the bottle of bubbles and then with dinner, we'll share a bottle of dry white wine.

    In the evening I will carry on drinking white wine and my other half will probably have a few Jameson or a few bottles of Heineken.
