Cheers Red...........
Get us all in the Christmas spirit,they sound a bit sickly to me..........Sure had never heard of Chocolate Vodka but would give it a try......hic.

 

Here's a couple of novelty ones for the younger folk and the young at heart:

Bailey's Mousse:
Mix equal measures of Bailey's Irish Cream and Lemonade. For some reason a reaction occurs and it takes on the consistency of ice cream.

Vodkamellon:
You will need a whole water mellon, a bottle of vodka, and an apple corer. Push the apple core remover into the water mellon as far as you can, to remove a 'core sample'. Eat the mellon flesh off the core sample but keep the piece of skin. Stand the mellon over a bowl, hole side down, to let much of the excess juice drain away. You can drink that now if you wish. When it stops dripping, turn it hole side up, and pour vodka in the hole until it is full. Place it in the fridge. The vodka will slowly soak into the flesh of the mellon. Every few hours, check the level in the hole, and top up as necessary. Repeat until no more vodka will go in (probably about 5 days). Place the skin from your core sample back in the whole so that the mellon appears to be complete. Place in the freezer for a few hours or until your party starts. At the party, slice up the frozen vodkamellon for your guests to share.

 

Thats cause real lemon will curd milk/cream.

 

Vodkamelons, that takes me back Clueless, and triple sec jellies made in a blender with a good dollop of stem ginger is pretty tasty stuff as well.
