Mixed Drinks and Nigerian Movies
I wanted to serve the drinks in a deep platter. I did not have to worry about shallow serving trays.
After dinner, we discovered mixed drinks and cocktails. We discovered that drinks go well with movies, so we had a Nigerian-movie marathon. I now can watch Nigerian movies without breaking down. Or maybe the
alcohol blurred the pain.

The secret to these drinks is reducing the amount of alcohol to allow sampling as many drinks as possible.





Cocoa Cherry Heaven:
The cherry was supposed to float on a cloud of whipped cream. but it kept sinking to the bottom. I renamed it Cherry- bottom infused hot chocolate cocktail.
Right: Italian Rosato wine; good for after dinner and with dessert. I had it with the strawberry-bottom cheesecake.
It has been a very memorable and wonderful Christmas by all accounts. Thank God for family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Christmas Greetings to all! A happy and prosperous New Year in 2013!
