Hi everyone,
Day 7 So lots of us are having fun at Christmas and maybe are sick of the eggnog or just what to try something a little different. Well I have a tasty blog for you then some truly amazing drinks to get you through the season. You may even want to give them as gifts (but you probably won't once you taste them). So grab a glass and . . . Happy Christmas!
Toffee Vodka
Empty bottle
700ml vodka
270g Werther's Original butter sweets
If the neck on the bottle is wide enough you can put the Werther's straight into the bottle, otherwise you will have to cut them in half.
Once all of the sweets are in the bottle then just top up with vodka and pop a lid on. Over the next couple of days shake the bottle to dissolve the sweets.
Once they are fully dissolved it's ready to drink. After 3 days the Werthers were completely dissolved.
Malteser Vodka
Empty bottle
700ml vodka
4 x 120g boxes of Maltesers
Put the Maltesers into an empty bottle that has been sterilised. Pour in the vodka. Place the lid on and shake vigorously.
Shake regularly over a couple of days until the maltesers have dissolved - this procedure can be sped up by wrapping the bottle in a tea towel and placing onto the radiator. This one took little longer than the toffee about a week until it was fully dissolved.
750ml sweet red wine (merlot or cabernet sauvignon)
6 tbsp sugar
1 orange chopped up
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
Heat your pan until hot then add the wine (be careful it will steam) then add everything else and simmer for 10-15 minutes don't let it boil or the alcohol will boil away. And its ready to serve.
I hope you have had fun and a few laughs making these yummy holiday drinks thanks for having a read, if you liked this blog go ahead and check out my other ones as I am doing blogs all throughout the Christmas season so check back and see what else you could get making this Christmas.
