Have you tried spotlight?  They have quite a range of preserving jars and bottles.  Can't remember what the largest one was.

Use 3 x 750 ml bottles or you could buy a flagon of sherry (2 litres) and decant the sherry into 3 bottles to use for cooking - as substitute for Chinese cooking wine.  ..... or just drink the sherry  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

You can get them from brewing suppliers - http://www.brewcraftsa.com.au/showProduct/50090 but EXPENSIVE !!

I have bought flagons of sherry similar to this http://www.liquorhomedelivery.com.au/showProduct/FORTIFIED+WINE/SHERRY/11072 for $8 recently when the local bottle-o was clearing shelves - actually bought 6 flagons.  So got the grog for free !!!!

Made the Coffee Liqueur and used it as part of a cocktail.....Frangelico cream martini.     Very nice!   I'll post it under "Drinks"

If you wanted the bottle full for gift giving, you can top it up with more vodka, S.  I hope they enjoy it.  I've made it a couple of times now and I forget what the bought stuff tastes like! :p

hehehe noooooooooo I bought some 740ml cooper bottles (beer) from coles today though but not sure if they're not too big as well lol... was debating if I should pre-make them (with milk so they're RTD)... obviously would have to keep in fridge then.

My cousin gave me some egg nog he made and it's absolutely divine!!!  I will have to suck up for a recipe (fingers crossed!) but I know it has sweet sherry and cream in it lol

Sorry Snoozie - not thinking - if you are giving them away as presents then the smaller 375ml bottles with the flippy tops with rubber ring and plastic stoppers would have been plenty big enough.

Not sure what they're called - but like these



Best not to add the milk.

Good luck with the eggnog
