For the toffee vodka,could i decant from a large bottle into tomato ketchup bottles (glass ones) and just put a fancy xmas label on them instead??? i would sterilise them first though or am i being thick.

You could technically put it in anything so long as you have cleaned it properly Only downside is people might notice it's a ketchup bottle? :dunno:

This year I've decided I am making German inspired baskets! Full of yummy baked treats - a Stollen, some gingerbread, various biscuits, marzipan.... yum Now they just have to make their way from my house to others without being eaten :rotfl:

Aldi have their bottles of Mulled Wine in £2.79 for a 75cl - they've changed the style of them as well. Only know as I've just been in and picked up their wine catalogue :drool:

Toffee vodka.... take one bottle of vodka... pour a bit out of the bottle (I like to call this the chefs privilege!) Take a rolling pin to an unwrapped bag of Werthers Originals (or similar) and put them in the vodka. Shake bottle well and leave for a couple of days... hey presto... nothing left floating in bottle, and a lethal smelling drink! :beer:

We used to do this in Norway with sweets called Turkish Peppers, and they make great shots, especially in the winter, or if you have a cold!:D
