What alcohol in a Christmas fruit cake?

[xXHopeXx]

My mum and grandma have been making Xmas cakes for years and use either brandy or sherry. My grandma uses sherry nearly all the time, and my mum mixes it up between sherry and brandy - depends what's in the cupboard lol

I hate Xmas cakes though so I can't tell u what tastes better!

Brandy, Sherry, Pernod is noce too, if you use rum, has to be dark rum (not Bacardi)...

ETA: With your Bacardi, you want fresh limes, crushed in the glass and soda water and loads of ice, sitting in the sun or the warm night during summer.... Heaven!

Thanks everyone!

Limeslice - come next summer I'll be cracking out that drink for sure!

Will be using what sherry I have and then topping up with brandy as well. Now just to get the energy to make it!

I use Baileys, soooooo yum!!! I've used tia maria before too which was also nice but not as nice as baileys

Hmm, probably should add that my Christmas fruit cake isn't the traditional style. It has all the dried fruit etc but is also made with white choc and vienna almonds.

I use traditional brandy in mine. I go by my granny's recipe xxx
