Calm down, Vinny. I leave the New Year's Day dip to hardier souls like you. Smile
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 Exclamation

1972 isn’t ancient! It’s a great year.......... I arrived on the planet    Big Grin  Rolleyes  Tongue .
I might have a bottle of claret in the wine collection  Blush .

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  Big Grin

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.Wink
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. Rolleyes 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.

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.Wink
