Christmas Drinks and Charades

[Briarmom]

I am hosting the drinking portion of a progressive dinner. What drinks are Christmas-y?
I will have wine, beer, and some sort of shot that I will keep in an big bowl of ice. I wanted to have Pomtinis because they are so good but I can't find POM here (they may have real pomegranite juice at an Egyptian store somewhere) and Lemon Vodka is proving difficult as well. If I find pomegranite juice, I will try it with lemon juice and regular vodka.

I need another alcoholic drink and some non-alcoholic drinks as well...for the kiddos.

Thanks!

as for non-alchoholic drinks you could do a berry and sprite/7-up mix... that is always a big hit..

Yes, I think that will be the one I serve. Maybe one other.

That would be funny.

Would the bottle be half empty or half full?

We make a non-alcoholic punch that tastes great and looks pretty too. I leave alcohol on the counter for those who like to spike it.

1 (or more) 2-liter bottle 7-Up
Rainbow sherbet (plain raspberry is best, but I can't always find it)


Pour the 7-Up into a punch bowl; add 5-6 scoops of sherbet. It will get frothy and foamy, so leave plenty of space in the punch bowl. I end up refilling 2 or 3 times during the party. It's very festive - I add a few drops of red food coloring too.


You could also do mulled cider - maakes the house smell great too.

I volunteered. It seemed the best fit for me.

I will also be making something for the main meal. Because...no one else will.

We have an ok-stocked bar here, but I can't even find Lemon Vodka at the store in Cairo...how will I find the stuff to make those fancy things?

 

[Briarmom]

What about Christmas Charades? I am making up a version of Christmas Cranium for another party...so I have to think of a lot of things for them to do/sculpt/draw...

Any ideas?
So far I have
TMX Elmo and Grandma getting run over by a reindeer.

I think my mom used to do that -- one with 7-up, and one with champagne I think. I remember it was delicious.

Briarmom -- it would be ALL full if I sent it...not a big fan of vodka!

I don't know if 'I really miss my booze' will be a good enough reason in:

Come to think of it, I haven't been feeling well since we got here.

Did you hear that I am now a brunette?
