Friday Happy Hour: What's your holiday drink?

martinisI don't know if I have a special drink I have around the holidays, though I guess if I had to think of one it would be egg nog. Not that I drink a lot of it around the holidays, it's just that it's the only holiday-related drink that I can think of having. If I'm going to have a drink, I usually stick to what I have other months of the year, even if it is Christmas.

Fandango has a quiz where they'll figure out which drink is best for you during the holidays. They ask you questions such as your favorite color, what type of movies you like, your idea of a fun time, etc. Then they tell you what you should be drinking. It works with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

I don't know how accurate it is since I got "Whiskey," which I can't stomach.

1.5oz vanilla vodka, i like Stolichnaya
.5oz peppermint schnapps
.5oz white creme de cacao
1 cherry

Chill a martini glass, combine all ingredients (except cherry) in shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain, drop in your cherry and enjoy!

My actual favorite holiday drink? I tend to be a fan of the bubbly (champagne and other sparking wines), just because it seems so celebratory (here are some good picks - http://www.3luxe.com/category/Wine/Bubbly).

When it's freezing out though, I have to go for a classic Irish coffee. Definitely warms you right up!

A note: you can replace the bourbon with applejack for a nice change of pace.
