Good Morning Speakies:
Hope you all had a nice evening last night. Today is the start of Hanukkah and I wish my Jewish Guys and Dolls and their families a very happy holiday season. The holiday season is a special time to reflect on the blessings you and your family received and to share the spirit of the season with the ones you love. It’s also a time to gather with friends, share food, good times and cheer.
Cheer is what this post is going to be about. What’s your favorite drinkable cheer over the holidays? When I lived in Jersey, I had a particular taste for a nice Manhattan on the Rocks (Still my favorite cocktail). On those cold wintery nights a Blackberry Flavored Brandy or a nice Rock and Rye hit the spot and warmed the toes. My wife had a favorite drink called a Peppermint Pattie, tasted just like the chocolate peppermint candy. People served wine and guys drank beer but those holiday drinks were something to see and taste. A hot buttered rum, a Tom Collins, a nice Old Fashion and even Shirley Temples for the little ones. My grandmother even had a good remedy for the common cold or flu. A nice hot plain cup of tea, mix in some honey, lemon and a double shot of whiskey, down the drink and proceed to get under the bed covers and by morning you would be feeling better.
I have readers from all over, so tell me your favorite holiday drink or the drinks popular in your area or country.
