Never had a Vodka Stinger until this afternoon. Dang! It's strong, but tasty.
It sounded Christmassy to me, because it's Vodka and Peppermint Schnapps (with a mint sprig garnish). 2 parts to 1.
Definitely put me in a festive mood, though, but with a little Stritch on the side.
I'll drink to that! Merry Christmas, everybody!

I'm a fan of eggnog, though I rarely ever encounter anyone else who cares for it.

I've had eggnog twice this holiday season and twice have gotten a terrible headache, I want to like it more than I do, I have to resign to the fact that dairy and I don't go well, especially mixed with alcohol. But I do love the taste of it!
Besty, I'll have to try a Vodka Stinger! That sounds so yummy.
I like to do brandy with some cinnamon schnapps on ice, very christmasy and very delicious
Brandy and cinnamon schnapps sounds great, ray! Yum!!
As for eggnog, I'm with you. I think it depends on what it's mixed with. The better the booze the better the reaction to it? (Maybe I'm kidding myself.)
I always liked a Hot Rum Toddy, Heated apple cider, rum, a tab of butter and a cinnamon stick
I've been making Puerto Rican eggnog for the last 4 weeks. Last night I made my 3rd batch!!
It's called Coquito and it's spiced with rum. It's super delicious and perfect to celebrate tonight and tomorrow night.
PopAria, I loooove Coquito! In fact, that is one of the two eggnogs I tried this year. It's so good, but it makes me feel so awful afterwards even if I have just a glass.
Besty, I don't know about the better the booze, the better the feeling, maybe for some people. I don't eat cheese or dairy, not out of choice but because it makes my body feel terrible, so I think maybe it's just me. It sucks because I do love the taste of spiked eggnog!
I'll just stick to my brandy and Goldschalleger (sp), which is just F*CKing tasty!
By the way, I'm so all over this thread, nothing I love more than a good cocktail, and always looking for good Christmas cocktails. I have got to try a Vodka Stinger ASAP!
A good eggnog goes a long way. I'll have to try Coquito!
