My favourite drink is Raspberry syrup or Raspberry and lime syrup which Polish grocery stores sell, mixed with golden ale.

Regarding cream type liqueurs, I prefer Amarula to Baileys, I find it less sweet with a good alcoholic kick. We first tried it at the Good Food Show a few years ago and liked it straightaway.

I also like a drop of Chambord, the black raspberry liqueur, in sparkling wine such as prosecco.

Amontillado sherry. A winter favourite of mine.
Stones Ginger wine.
BTW I don’t like Baileys, either. C

I couldn’t drink Baileys to save my life.

I only drink Cava, Cremant, Champagne, dry white and red.

I once had a Crabbies/Stones ginger wine with a mixer I seem to remember it was not too bad.

A snowball. Lime cordial, Advocaat and lemonade.

I don't really drink now but I used to like Cointreau or Tia Maria or a dry sherry

I like the Polish fruit syrups, which I add to prosecco for a treat.
What about a Bucks Fizz?

As we near Christmas lots of people seem to get really excited about drinking Baileys.

I can't stand the stuff.

My tastes are quite boring in that I really only like chilled white, rose or prosseco.

Is there anything a bit more exciting (but not too complicated) that I might like to drink - and to celebrate the season.

What is your favourite drink at this time of year?
