What is your choice of beverage for NYE? Champagne? Soda? Beer? Rum/Whiskey/Scotch?

I will be drinking Barcardi Raspberry rum w/ Sprite. NYE toast Corbel's Pink Champagne.

I like only sweet wines - White Zinfandel is my usual choice. However, I have recently discovered Moscato wines, and most of them are fairly sweet. They are often sparkling, so will make a perfect drink for New Years. I will probably get Yellow Tail from Australia.

Uhhh, after this holiday season, my NYE drinking cabinet sounds fairly...problematic.

- 2 liters of apple pie moonshine

- 1 bottle Cuervo for margaritas

- 1 BIG bottle of Captain Morgan

- 1 bottle of Reggae Blush

- Half a dozen mini-bottles of vodka and schnapps from the Santa Bal game

Granted, I won't be drinking all of this, or even drinking all of it myself. We have people coming over so the booze will be shared. However, I plan on breaking out my new Ninja on some margaritas and apple pie slushies.

Since the uninvited "guests" raided our liquor supply we now have approximately 1/2 inch of liquor in each of the 5 1.7 litre previously unopened bottles of our booze. So I guess I'll be having a beer - which is my preference anyway.

I’m in the mood for Uncle Val’s Botanical Gin. Have you ever had it? It’s heavenly.

An Ol’ Saint Val is always good. I do a simplified version:

Uncle Val’s Botanical Gin
Cranberry Juice
Lemon juice
Dash of bitters

In a shaker, then over an ice cube.

No I have never had it. I will have to give it a try. That drink sounds delicious.

No booze for me. I will probably be the designated driver for some friends, though

Good for you. The designated driver is the most important person tonight. Safe driving to you.

That makes sense. I think people have a misconception that you will sleep for hours on end.

Yep- I've got there too! The trouble is there is so much pressure to have a drink over the holiday season and tonight I'm hosting a new year party. I have had two drink free nights in preparation but still feel bad. Now, I only want to drink to toast midnight, but I know I won't. It will be hard not to pour myself a small one when my guests arrive. Next month I'm going on a healthy living course- how long will that take lol?
