This time of year it;s fun to indulge in some bubbly-what is your favorite sparkling wine, champange or christmas beverage. Perhaps you have a recipe you'd like to share so that we all could try:icon_biggrin:

Christmas morning it's been our usual practice to have sparkling wine with OJ while having brunch or opening gifts, think it's called a Mimosa. I don't usually spring for a Champagne because of cost and there are quite a number of reasonable sparkling wines from other than French producers. I tend to favour a good Cava from Spain or an Italian Prosecco.

I love Veuve Clicquot but will settle for Perseco :)

I'm a fan of Yellow Tail Bubbles and Jackson Triggs Sparking Sauvignon Blanc. Both are Ontario wines. They're reasonably priced at 14.95 a bottle. I love the light bubbles this time of year, and a perfect companion to a bubble bath. Mmmm...bubbles. :)

Mmmmmmm mimosas are amazing! I also love white wine (Sauvignon Blanc) as usual.

Jacob's Creek Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir is very tasty and currently my fave.

I've had the opportunity to visit the Niagara peninsula during the last two harvest seasons and the sparkling I appreciated the most was the ENTOURAGE Méthode Classique Brut- Jackson Triggs Silver series. It sells for $24.95 at the LCBO. It is a really good buy for those who don't want to spend hundreds on champagne.

Not so much into sparkling wines or champagne, so can't help so much there. One thing I do enjoy this time of year is a spiced rum and eggnog or two or three....haha

Spiced rum and eggnog is delicious...! I'm with MellyBelly on this one.

 

I like making eggnog martinis. The recipe calls for rimming the glass with honey and graham cookies... --drools--

Being a non drinker I have non alcoholic wine, no particular favourites or a bottle of Becks no alcohol beer.

However a few people who do drink have taken a liking to cranberry wine.

I personally don't know what it tastes like (cranberry I assume duh!!!) but family/friends/guests who have had it say they like it

I like variety, but Champagne is quite good, and Veuve Clicquot is my best choice. Another alternative would be a Vouvray sparkling wine, like the Chateau Moncontour, that can be compare to a good Champagne.

 

My favorite drink still is a very good Dry Martini, shaked not stired (lol) very dry, and icy cold.

I LOVE my Rum and Eggnog!! And don't forget the nutmeg :). it just tastes like Christmas :)

Candy Cane martinis are good too :)

For non alcoholic it would either me a gingerbread or candy cane lattes mmmmm
