What's your favorite alcoholic mixed drink for the holidays?!
Answers: I'd love some recipes for drinks to serve the adults when they visit for the holidays. I know, I could Google it, but I'd like you to recommend stuff you've tried and really like, not just stuff recommended by some website.
I love Ginger Pineapple Martinis
Pineapple Juice, Vanilla Vodka and a Splash of GInger Beer- NOT ginger ale. You can find Ginger Beer in the natural soda aisle at your supermarket or at Whole Foods or another Health food store.
Or a martini called the Winter White

Apple Martini. It gets me drink asap.
I used to work in a coffee house that made a drink they called gluhwein. I was told something similar originated in Germany but not sure if that's accurate. Anyway it's red wine (served hot) with a tablespoon of sugar, a small handful of raisins (literally just 6-8 or so), cinnamon stick, small handful of sliced almonds and pinch of whole cloves. Mmmm...
Apple Pie
Boil apple juice, brown sugar and cinnamon to taste. Take off the stove let sit for a couple of minutes add vodka and whiskey.

My family always has these as family/friends are arriving and mingling etc.....
I enjoy anything with Kahlua in it. Or, just Kahlua alone.
Some use Kahlua in vodka and add milk and it is very tasty. This is called a white russian.
Some use Kahlua in coffee, like Bailey's liqueur is used. (It is really good that way).
I am not big on alcohol, but I do enjoy Kahlua a lot because you can do many things with it and it is very tasty. It is considered a liqueur.
recipe for white russian is:
one jigger of kahlua
one jigger of vodka
one jigger of milk.
Mix and drink. Yummy

As a bartender, I recommend you get a variety of basic alcohols as well as mixers for them.
Example:
Rum, Vodka, Tequila, Bourbon, Gin.
As for the mixers: Coke, 7-up, Orange Juice, Cranberry Juice, Pineapple Juice, Sour mix.
A person usually knows what they like, so if you provide the basics, they will be able to choose a drink of their choice.
