I need some cocktail ideas for a Christmas party...?
...I like drinks that are creamy, so, maybe include Baileys, Kahlua, and such.
Answers:
Cool Crushed Sheridans...
4 shots of Sheridans - (cream side first then liquer)
1 shot of double cream
2 shots of baileys
1 shot of vodka
Shake with crushed ice and add a scoop of vanilla or choc ice cream to serve!!
Its amazing and gets you hammered....its so creamy and smooth...!
Brandy, Kahlua and half and half, on the rocks is good but in the blender is great with a dash of nutmeg.
Almost any liqueur that is sweet with a bit of half and half, a shot or two of brandy or vodka in the blender and top with a shot of whipped cream makes everyone happy.
Warmer-uppers: Hot chocolate with brandy. Tom and Jerry mixes and hot buttered rum mixes are all great for hot drinks.
Have fun but don't let anyone drive!!
Yummy pina coladas.... and mocha , and whip cream bowls to serve everyone...who doesn't like cool whip
I think I'll try a bunch of drinks and then get back to you... Unless I'm too drunk
Abbot's Dream recipe
2 oz Bailey's? Irish cream
1 oz Frangelico? hazelnut liqueur
1/2 oz banana liqueur
1/2 oz cream
Blend with 1 cup of ice until smooth and pour into a highball glass.
Bailey's Comet recipe
1 1/4 oz butterscotch schnapps
1 1/4 oz Bailey's? Irish cream
1 1/4 oz Goldschlager? cinnamon schnapps
float sambuca
Shake and Strain the Butterscotch, Bailey's, and Goldschlager into a cocktail glass. Float the Sambuca, then sprinkle Cinnamon or Nutmeg into drink (Before you flame the drink). Just before presentation, flame the drink. As the Sambuca burns, the cinnamon will sparkle. A dazzling effect if the bartender or server is walking with the drink while it's burning (give the comet a tail).
Kahlua Bomb recipe
1 shot Kahlua? coffee liqueur
1 shot peppermint schnapps
1 shot vodka
fill with milk
Mix all of the ingredients well. Serve in an old-fashioned glass.
OK...I just made this up: Im going to call it a Schlognogger. It will taste somewhat like eggnog but will use Goldschlogger with gold leaf in it for the alcohol.
Put in cream, Goldshlogger and a bit of Kahlua....festive looking and interesting
Sounds like you are going to be busy mixing drinks. You should keep it simple. Try somtihing like these.
Kahlua Party Punch
2 cup Kahlua
12 oz Apple juice concentrate
1/2 cup Lemon juice
25 oz Apple juice
1 x 5th Dry champagne
1 qt Lemon-lime soda OR Club soda
Ice
Lemon slices
Orange slices
Chill all ingredients well. Combine kahlua with undiluted apple juice concentrate and lemon juice. Pour over a small chunk of ice in punch bowl. Add sparkling apple juice, soda and champagne; stir gently.
Garnish with thin lemon and orange slices.
Makes 30, 1/2 cup servings.
Disarono Mimosa
0.5 Cup Disaronno Amaretto
750 ml Champagne
3 Cups Orange Juice
The above quantities are sufficient for approximately 12 drinks.
In a pitcher, stir together the orange juice and Disaronno Amaretto. Half fill each of 6 Champagne flutes with the Disaronno and orange juice blend. Top up with Champagne. Garnish with thinly sliced zest if desired.
Then have on hand with appropriate mixers, vodka, gin, rum & bourbon. Plenty of ice. You really do not want to spend all your time at the blender.
White russinan can be served over ice and do not have to be blended.
Have fun

How about peppermint martinis?
Peppermint Martini Recipe
5 ounces of Chopin vodka
2 ounces of white Creme de Menthe
1/2 ounce of Peppermint Schnapps
Add to a chilled cocktail shaker that you've added some ice to. Shake about 15 to 20 seconds, then strain into chilled martini glasses. Serves 2.
Here's a chocolate version:
2 1/2 fluid ounces chilled vodka
1/2 fluid ounce chilled peppermint schnapps
1/2 fluid ounce chilled white Creme de Cacao
2 Junior mints
1. Mix cold liquor together and shake with ice.
2. Strain into a martini glass.
3. Drop 2 Junior Mints into bottom of glass.
Those are fine but if people are driving, avoid hard liquor. I would have a variety of wines and beer.
