Excellent. And I know that Douwe Egberts coffee jar has "family heirloom" in its future.
ReplyDeleteMy footnotes never look half so elegant!
ReplyDeleteSounds delish.
I am really starting to like your idea of new Christmas traditions, elegant decorations and cocktails a good combination to rouse that Christmas spirit.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteIf traditions are like that, I'm all for it.
ReplyDeletevery civilised.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what the traditional time of day for this tradition will tradiionally be?!
ReplyDeleteA most notable and applaudable tradition Mrs M.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than tea.
ReplyDeleteUncomfortably reminiscent of the Wylie cocktail from student days - I am sure that the elderflower makes all the difference . . .

ReplyDeleteI've always been partial to a glass of eggnog, or several, myself. It is good, however, that you have started a new tradition. Bottoms up!
ReplyDeleteSee, this is the sort of thing that makes me wish I could drink. I'm going to track down the elderflower (?) liquer and make one for my sister the next time I see her. She does my drinking for me.
