    Strawberry Margarita is my favorite! I also like Blue Hawaiians.

    While in Mexico in November, I discovered a Mango Tango (SO good!)

    There is nothing better than a nice mulled wine during the holidays for me. Or a glass of Baileys when it's cold out.

    No special drinks around the holidays but my favorite drink in general is a vodka martini, up with a twist ;o)

    Oh man...tough call....i like alcohol a lot. Gin and sprite's one of my favorites, with a splash of sour mix. But really i just like alcohol--martinis, blackberry margaritas, etc....Oh well! I love amaretto and diet coke....i really don't have a standard go-to drink. If i feel like something I build around it. Having an extensive bar background from waiting tables for a few years (and going to a heavy drinking engineering university) will add to your knowledge base =]

    I love spiked egg nog during the holidays!  My favorite alcoholic beverages include amaretto sours, hurricanes, or pina coladas.  Non alcoholic would be Milo's sweet tea or anything with coffee in it!

    MinMan and I didn't try making it until this year, but mulled cider is quite possibly the most fantastical and delicious holiday drink ever. Hot, spicy, delicious, warms you from head to toe. It's versatile too; it can be alcoholic or non, depending on your mood.

    My fave drink is a gin and tonic, with a big squeeze of lime. Also like gin martinis, either with a twist or dirty (depending on mood). Hmm, I like mojitos, and bloody marys if they are made right. Also red wine is good anytime! :)

    I don't have a holiday drink and I'm not a fan of most sweet mixed drinks, but I went to a holiday party the other day - she had flutes of champagne with plum wine & a splash of cranberry juice… it was really good.

    I'm mostly a beer girl but I do like Stoli-O & Seltzer or Jack & ginger when I do want something sweet.

    @MzThrowBac2B Really? Wow, it's so popular over here that I guess I don't think much of it. It's not really a drink I have in pubs but I always have a bottle at home and usually crack it open at Christmas parties. :)

    @Minutiae - I TOTALLY agree! I was just about to post that it was my favorite. FMIL gave me her family recipe last year, and I made it this year, and plan to make it again for my bridal shower this weekend. Woo hoo!

    Mulled Cider is my favorite non-alcoholic drink - but my favorite alcoholic drink over the holidays is Bailey's with Hot Chocolate...yummo!

    I have two great drinks for you to try and you can't even taste the alcohol!!

     

    1st one (since I haven't named them)

    Vodka, lemonae (I use Crystal light) and drizzle Chambord over. so DELICIOUS!!

     

    2nd one

    Bacaardi Raz, 7-up/Sprite (or diet) and squeeze a lime into it!

    Seriously girls, these drinks are fabuolous!! Kiss

    For "standard" drinks, my default is usually a Cosmo. But if I'm at home and making a drink, my go-to beverage is something I made up myself. Take a normal 16-ounce glass and fill it with ice. Fill it about 1/5 full with vanilla Stoli (adjust based on how potent you want it to be). Fill almost to the top (about 1/2 to 1 inch to spare) with Diet Sprite or 7Up. Top off with Diet Coke, basically for color. It's yummy :)

    My favorite cocktail is a vodka tonic, so I enjoy those.  At the holidays, we have a brandy slush stuff that my aunt makes that I usually end up drinking at the family party.  My cousins also make this drink we invented with Vanilla Vodka and Vernors Ginger Ale.  It's kind of holiday-ish.

    I generally stick with beer or wine, but if I'm out at at a place that has either mojitos or a pear-flavored cocktail (any kind), I'll go with that.
