What do you like to drink at holiday/winter cocktail parties? Would you try these?
We are the cocktail/ appetizer house for our neighborhood progressive party. Since the appetizers are potluck, I thought I'd offer a few "mix-it-yourself" drink stations in addition to the usual wine, beer and soda. So, what are your favorite holiday/winter themed drinks? If you were at a holiday party, would you enjoy a "build your own mimosa" party or is that too brunch-themed? Some ideas I thought of from the internet are separate stations for Peppermint White Russian (I have the equal parts vodka, Kahlua and peppermint schnapps premixed, add the other stuff to taste), Pomagranite champagne cocktail, Harvested Apple cocktail (just white wine, calvados and something else), and Amaretto Kiss cocktail ( vodka, amaretto and cranberry juice premixed). In addition well have good old beer, wine and soda.
What do you think? Stick with 2-3 cocktail stations? Fewer? Simpler (just pour the premixed stuff and add fruit)?
Suggestions are appreciated!
