Holiday Drink Ideas?

Does anyone have any really good recipies for Christmas Drinks (eg. martinis, punch, mixed drinks, etc)? I am in charge of the drinks this year and I could always do the usual, but I really wanted to come up with something new and fun.

How convenient... Oprah just had a special yesterday on holiday parties and she revealed her favorite party drink that she makes. She's in love with this, and was so proud of herself for making these for a party.

from her website:

1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
2 oz. Absolute Citron vodka OR white tequila
1 oz. Cointreau liquor
Cup of ice
Optional: Splash of sparkling water
Optional: Squeeze of lemon

Shake ingredients in a shaker and put in chilled martini glasses. Put pomegranate fruit into glass as garnish.








MY FAVORITE DRINK IS AN APPLETINI!!! MY SIL MAKES THE BEST!!! SO THIRSTY NOW!!! BEEN.SO.LONG :(
WOW! That sounds great...and easy! And it is even a Christmas color :lol:

Leave it to Oprah.
good Bourbon and diet coke... :D
Reading this thread was a bad idea. I'm dying to go out for drinks now. The girl I hang out with though is mormon, and drinking in front of her is a no-no. :( Wish I had more friend options. She doesn't' even watch rated R movies. I can't help but crack jokes all the time, which probably makes her feel bad, but it's makes me feel bad that I can't drink, so we're even. :twisted:
Cranberry juice and Vodka :D a good old simple standby!!!!
mulled wine is always yummy...
They sell mulling spices at Williams Sonoma...

Or anything cranberry would be good.

What about a cranberry bellini (champagne and cranberry juice)?
Jello shots!! :D

Green jello with apple schnapps or green apple pucker, red jello with rum, or cherry whiskey... mmmmm
I'm bringing this old thread back to life! I'm looking for and cannot find what I thought was a punch recipe from someone here on the message board; maybe Sheepieshake? I served it at New Year's Eve 2 years ago (maybe more), and called it "Sheepdog Punch" telling everyone that I got the recipe here. It was a champagne based punch; does anyone recall it???
I'd use just a shot of pome juice and the rest cranberry since pome juice is sooooooo very expensive. Otherwise, sounds yummy! Think of the antioxidants you are getting as your pickle a few brain cells.
I wanted this recipe because it was Champagne based. I don't like champagne, and we often get gifted bottles. I thought if I made punch for Christmas, I could get rid of a couple of bottles. On a whim, I googled one of the bottles and it turns out its a $350 bottle of Dom Perignon. I'm thinking maybe I won't put it in the punch. I'm also thinking i have NO idea who gave it to us!!!!! :twitch:
Wow! I'd hate to drink it......alone. Find someone who appreciates fine wine and share it with them, but also a VERY special event!
I'm thinking I know what Adam and I are going to pop the cork on for New Year's!!!
