I love making cocktails, but I don't usually find the recipe in my bar book. Favourites in my liquor cabinet are gin, coffee liquor, cream rum, and bubblie. Additions are usually egg nog, hot chocolate, ice cream, pomegranate, iced coffee. I also make hypocras (red wine that is heated slightly, add spices, bottle it for 24 hours, serve room temperature- not the same as mulled wine, mulled wine has a tendency to lose alcoholic properties due to heat and dilution). I don't drink much anymore but I love making cocktails for others.
