Answer 3

One of the family holiday favorites I remember as a kid was spiced wine. My aunt would take port wine and sangria and put it in a crock pot along with apple slices, orange slices, cinnamon, nutmeg.

She also made a spiced apple cider and served it with Tuaca which is a caramel flavored liqueur. It tasted like hot apple pie ala mode with caramel. Yuummmy,.

I also love Raspberry martini's during the holidays with a garnish of whole sliced lemon. Very pretty and festive.

Answer 4

Why go with just rum?
Invest in is "Mr. Boston's Deluxe Official Bartender's Guide" or "Mr. Boston's Recipe Book". Either is commonly referred to as "Mr. Boston". I THINK I would prefer the "Deluxe" edition.

Thanks for asking! I enjoyed answering your Q!
