So the cocktail team (aka @Ballerina and @MaryAnn and yours truly), have a few hundred cocktails to make, so I have decided to do a limited cocktail menu, based on the top 3 votes as we just can't please everyone! So please vote for your favourite and we will make pitchers of the stuff.

Over the meal, Ballerina will be serving Pinot because both she and @wineoclock are partial to a glass as well as 'anything red' too especially for @azureblue and @carieoates. Digestives will be either Baileys (or as predictive text calls it, railways), or brandy.

Poll open until Friday as I need to get supplies in :lol:. However I will also be serving glasses of either manzanilla or fino sherry first thing as it's very refined darlings and nice to open your presents with.

And I refuse to make any Sex on the Beach :shock:

Mines a neat champagne, nothing added but I will be trying a Red Snapper over the holiday period
Oh wowzer Cocktail Team!
What a fab and imaginative selection on offer..hard to choose
Love the sound of the Gingerbread Man and now thinking i sh'd have gone for that....
Thanks for the Pinots and baileys too..i can't wait!
And the best thing of all? None of these things have any calories! X :wink:
I know what I'll be ordering!

PS

have we lost all grip on reality?
Great selection @rawkarenI've had to have a good think about this....I really need to keep myself "going" at this moment in time. So I am going for the drink with fruit juice in, and then it's red drinks all night long.
Was so glad that Karens "special green drink" wasn't included. :dazed:
