The champagne does now not have as lengthy of a shelf lifestyles because the wine may have. For the wine, plenty is determined by the way it was once saved (temperature, quantity of sunshine) and the way most likely it was once moved. I've had a few beautiful nasty wines that have been round 10 years historic - ended up throwing plenty away and now I simply drink it immediately (extra amusing that manner). I'm now not certain approximately the mixes, however I can not assume they could final very lengthy, notably if sugared.

Jello Shooters: Pineapple jello with passion fruit rum...very simple and everyone loves them, even if they aren't quite a drink.

Wine: sangria with lots of fruit

Champagne: Cranberry juice, lime juice and slices of lime, a whole bottle of italian wine (sparkling) or champagne...add a splash of blue curacao to a glass a bubbly

Whiskey: a peach cobbler...peach nectar and whiskey, tastes JUST like the dessert

Vodka: vanilla martini

Poinsettia Cocktail- Vodka, cranberry juice, champagne

No certain amounts
