Holiday Drinks

[Gofish]

Do you have anything special that you drink for the holiday? Either alcoholic or non-alcoholic?

My favorite non-alcoholic drink I learned when I had a vegan over for Christmas last year and had to find a way of making vegan eggnog. You can also add liquor to this:

1 cup peeled mango
1 peeled banana
2 cups vanilla soy milk
3 tbsp. brown rice syrup
2 ? tbsp. fruit-flavored lecithin granules
? tsp. nutmeg
? tsp. vanilla extract

Blend ingredients, chill before serving, serves 4.

My favorite source of alcoholic drink recipes is http://www.thebar.com/ I like that they let you sort by occasion so that I can figure out what drinks go well for my parties. I?d sure as hell rather get advice from Jack about that than Martha Stewart. Anyone know why that actor looks so familiar to me?
