People often drink alcohol on Christmas day to celebrate the festivities and to enjoy time with family and friends. Drinking alcohol is also a tradition in many cultures around the world, and Christmas is no exception.
In the UK, it is not unusual for people to have a drink or two with their Christmas dinner. So, if you’re looking to celebrate Christmas with a glass of something special, you’re in good company!
There are a variety of drinks that people enjoy on the day. Of course, there is always the traditional English breakfast tea. But many also enjoy a glass of Bucks Fizz, a sparkling wine cocktail made with champagne and orange juice, to start the festivities.
Mulled wine is also popular. This spiced wine is made with red wine, spices and citrus fruit.
And of course, no Christmas would be complete without searching online for a recipe for eggnog! This creamy drink is made with milk, cream, eggs, and either rum or brandy.
So, whatever your tipple of choice, make sure you enjoy a drink or two this Christmas! Just remember to drink responsibly. Cheers!
