"I'll continue to observe the ancient tradition of grabbing a bottle of the Christmas beverage since time immemorial"
From the link: The technical people at IDV’s research and development department in Harlow had concocted some “heather and honey” traditional-style liqueurs
I may have a still unopened bottle at the back of my pantry shelf, given to us some years ago by a cousin who'd had it given to them - a chain of events you might find informative.
But years ago when we, for some reason, took a ferry from Dublin instead of Larne, we came across a promotion for it. The poor girl who was trying to organise it had a supply of those minuscule plastic thimbles they use for such occasions and was trying to ration it out. She ran into a gaggle of old dears from the back streets of Belfast (to judge by the accents). After a few minutes she was looking a bit stressed. Before long they'd wrested control of the supply from her and by the time we docked in Holyhead they were all rolling drunk.
