Best Party Drink

Recommended Posts

I'm having a neighborhood cocktail party (y'all are invited, of course) and was wondering what would be a good party drink to make (think in bulk). Something festive that everyone would consider trying. Yeah, there will be beer there and all that good stuff, just figured it would be cool to have something "christmasy" (is that a word?:D)
Any ideas? Maybe some kind of coffee drink perhaps...

Hot spiced cider! Heat it up on the stove, have some rum nearby; you can serve it spiked or unspiked depending on what people want.

Edit: plus it makes the house smell really good.

Yup, I make this during the holidays sometimes. Another great holiday drink is eggnog spiked with Captain Morgan's spiced rum, a nice after-dinner drink. But I have had the heated spiked cider at the DZ before... great on a cold day. :)

Eggnog, but you have to make it pretty stout other wise everyone will end up full and not even buzzed. In my experience going with the cider is the best bet, you can get it in packets at the store and make it your self of you can get gallons of it. Stick it in a big BIG pot put it on the stove add rum and stir, then cover it and walk away. Its great, but it gets everything it touches sticky, but its a small price to pay for that christmasy goodness.

I would like to keep this on the "classy" level for as long as possible, after midnight all bets are off though. NO jungle juice!! Now maybe a lil jingle juice!;)

Hot chocolate with Bailey's. I've found the Ghiradelli powdered chocolate works really well.

You can also try putting something minty in the hot chocolate. I think Bailey's and peppermint schnapps works really well.
