Calm down, Vinny. I leave the New Year's Day dip to hardier souls like you.
Are you doing it this year?

I've just made a small amount of lazy mulled wine using gluhwein bags - they were left in a chalet. Its to make a batch of mulled wine icecream later!
For proper stuff I use an ancient recipe in the Times Cookbook (1972) by Katie Stewart. It calls for a bottle of claret

Tsk you young things
We have a few bottles of Bordeaux too, but I wouldn't dare mull it. We have vin d'espagne in a tetra pak at 99c a litre for that

So I looked in the back of the cupboard (the top cupboard of a wardrobe) and those holiday memories came flooding back!!! The old days, when you could bring back a bottle of spirits/liqueur and ?6 bottles of wine duty-free. It was a good excuse for 3 holidays every year.
I found Bacardi from the Bacardi factory in Puerto Rico, Gin bought to make sloe gin, 7 Star Metaxa Brandy (Greece), some Fruity liqueurs from Turkey, Marsala and 3 bottles of Strega (Italy), Jim Bean whisky (USA), Port from Portugal, Madeira from bet you can't guess; and from goodness knows where - Tequila, Vodka, Tia Maria, Jaegermeister, Isle of Jura single malt, 3 bottles of various sherries, Ginger Liqueur and more that I can't remember.
Now I have a decluttering plan - to drink it in 2021..............and not buy anymore wine until its finished.
Not as easy as it sounds as I don't like most spirits and will need to dilute them all with lemonade or ginger ale. Still, its a small sacrifice to make for an empty cupboard!!!There was also bottle of Ginger Ale - Best before April '06........the bad news is - it was flat.

Your posts are mad enough already

You'd be very welcome! I'm going to struggle with some.

Cointreau and lemonade tonight. The Cointreau bottle was opened at least 15 years ago but what's left in there should keep me going for a few nights. If I'm ill, please tell the Doctor what I've drunk.
