I like pairings as I get older

Some crown royal with my crown pork
Roast ( I make). Sounds good to me.

It will also go well with prime rib

One of my friends makes a seasonal beverage made of candy corn soaked in vodka. I don't like flavored vodka at all (I'll drink a Bloody Mary or on the rocks at most). I guess if you like the "birthday cake" variety type flavored stuff, you'd like this, but it makes me want to gack after one or two sips.

Husband will probably break out his favorite Irish Whiskey-Red Breast. I bought a bottle of my favorite Pinot Grigio so will drink that or one of the bottles of red--depends on my mood.

I'll probably skip the eggnog this year since it will just be the two of us and he doesn't drink it. I have a bottle of Baileys and some peppermint schnapps for an after dinner coffee.
Your husband has good taste! Red Breast 12 yr is a very nice Irish Whiskey. I'll actually take it over their 15 yr based on price. If your husband likes RB, he should try Midleton Irish Whiskey. It is my favorite, but I will always have a bottle of Red Breast handy since it is a very good whiskey.

For Christmas this year, I will be drinking a cabernet sauvignon. Maybe a gin and tonic to start using Hendrick's gin. Just not sure yet as unsure of what we're having for dinner.

I'll tell him to try Midleton if we ever see it while out. I looked online. I'll have to remember this if I can find it for a "big" birthday next year given the price Thanks for the recommendation.

We were literally talking about that whiskey this morning. How funny.

I will be perfectly happy with an endless glass of iced tea.

Then, the usual drinks that we always have:
  • Water/Infused water
  • Tea
  • Hot chocolate
  • Some kind of juices/Snapple/lemonade
I really like the Trader Joe's ginger beer that they put out around this time of year. Unfortunately I'm where TJ's is not, so I won't get any this year.

I will drink red wine this Christmas, as I do on most days. Probably a cab or a shiraz. I also drink flavored/not sweetened sparkling water and seltzers regularly for non-alcoholic choices.

Good stuff. Northern Harvest is particularly tasty.
