Although of Greek heritage, the drink of choice around the spit at Christmas every year is always whiskey (We don't mind Ouzo and Beer, but Whiskey seems to reign supreme at our place all the same) . We all drink it neat because ice tends to melt quickly and dilute the whiskey.

Whiskey stones would do just the trick. We could keep our drinks cold without diluting them. (though I expect we would probably go through a lot more whiskey, which usually isn't a problem till the next day)

... and we always travel by taxi on the day.

Nancy. :))

My go-to entertaining drink is a Champagne Cocktail. I would use the freezable whisky stones
at the bottle of each flute because no one likes warm bubbles

They will keep the red or white Sangria cool around our bbq table too, what a great idea!

I'm not a big drinker & am allergic to Champagne :(

However Christmas Eve is always drinks a my parents house & they make Mojito's for me!

My dear departed mother was never much of a drinker but every Christmas morning the two of us would have some form of champagne cocktail.

Often a Mimosa, which went down a treat. BUT the year we tried a champagne and strawberry liqueur mix was a disaster.
Well not for mum and I, we giggled through until mid afternoon when crashed for a nap.

When we woke we realised the peas went unserved, some people had the wrong presents and there was something very charred in the oven.

The family still talks about the year we were too tipsy to cook lunch.

This year it'll be straight champagne (and after 8 years I still miss her dreadfully).
