A bottle of Evan Williams eggnog, a tall glass, and a warm fire.

Last Christmas I was done in by something called a Moscow mule. It's Vodka Ginger Beer or spicy bitey Ginger Ale and Lime Juice. I seem to recall it went down great and then, well there was some falling down and stuff.
I'll be on a different train this year. Something low speed and high drag with easy on and off ramps.
I like the above eggnog recipe. Well maybe not a bottle but a glass would be nice.
My favorite:
Tom and Jerry Batter
Beat 6 egg yolks for approximately 10 minutes until good and stiff. Pour in 1 pound confectioners' sugar slowly (keeping back 1/2 cup from the pound) and 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Beat until well mixed. Set aside.
Beat the 6 egg whites until stiff and fluffy. Add the reserved 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar. Fold the two mixtures together gently.
To use, heat 1/2 water and 1/2 milk and pour into heated mugs with a jigger of rum or brandy, a heaping teaspoon batter and a dash of nutmeg. Stir and serve.
You can store the remainder in a covered glass container in the refrigerator, but it is not quite as good if left for over 24 hours.
Trader Vic made a batter which you could find in the dairy section. There is also a blend of Rum/Brandy which is good and much less expensive than expensive brandy.
CHEERS!! ;)

Is that just for Christmas?
I hope the tumbler is the only holiday requirement, or I have been drinking Christmas drinks out of season.

If it's not Christmasy enough for you, try putting on one of those Santa hats.
Better yet, you could dress like Winthorpe on his Trading Places bender . . .

The pistol is a nice touch, though.

Awright, here it is and nobody ever believes me, THE Christmas Knifemaking drink for after the work is done.
This drink is best served in the black of night when the snow is driving sideways. When I say black, I mean country black, no city lights. This way if you lie down in the snow to take a nap while trekking back to the house from the shop, it will be a peaceful and undisturbed rest.
Tall glass full of big chunks of ice, best if you break the icicles off the north side of the shop where the gutter gets jammed up and they are easy to reach. Don't go up the ladder at night if you don't have to.
Best quality of gold tequila you can get, at least two full ounces if not a trace more, this is a knife shop, not some... well you kids know what I mean..
Fill the rest of the glass with good eggnog! Stir with whatevers close, just make sure the blade wasn't quenched in oil. Don't use the axe handle, it's too big and makes a mess.
This one is so smooth...One taste of this and you feel sorry for all those who haven't had a Tequila Eggnog, Knifemaker style.

Ooh. I might just have to try some of that. (The SB, in UCSB, for the country folks, means Santa Barbara.) That is, after I fry up the turkey, try some of TR's custom turkey recipe, watch some football, and smoke a cigar.

I have HEARD that this works best with Reed's Brand Jamaican Ginger beer, Preferrably the premium type with the green cap, but any will work. Also, sub some decent Rye whiskey for the Vodka and it gets two thumbs up

Negative. Evan Williams Brand Original Southern Eggnog. "Made with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Blended Whiskey, Rum, and Brandy." 30 proof.
They sell it here in the liquor stores. $6.95 a bottle, all day long here in God's Country.
It is good! Not sure it needs Tequila added, but to each his own.

Ouch!! You want I should pick you up a case, and run it out there?
It normally sells out well before Christmas around here, but we could probably export a few bottles to our Kali Legal Dept. Most of us buy a case well in advance to last us through New Year.

I would think that a prominent partner in a major legal firm would find that to be a business expense as Christmas gifts to friends and clients.
Perhaps if you find it palatable, you could have your local store order a case or two for the firm?

Red wine, single malt scotch, guinness, Baileys, and some "fine aged" Appleton Estate Jamaican Rum.
I'd try to get to the store, as the wine and beer are unsuitable; the Bailey's will not add more bite than the Kahlua (although it may be tasty); and the scotch and rum really shouldn't be wasted in a mixed drink.
If you need to do this now, I'd use the rum. Good luck. ;) :)

Buy two cases for clients, distribute one case early, and dispose of the leftovers by drinking.

I'll have to get some and try it.
Jameson's is excellent lrd. Next time he's in or passing through Ireland tell him to pick up a couple cases errrr bottles of Paddy. THAT is the best...but they don't sell it here. :(
