Thinking Caps On - It's THAT time of year again!!

[Chris Plumb]

'Old-timers' on this forum will remember that every year my ex-boss gets sent a Christmas quiz. 100 questions, cryptic/gen knowledge clues leading directly or indirectly to the answer. Each year all the answers have the same theme. This year's answers are all drinks; alcoholic and non-alcoholic, hot and cold - & quite a few cocktails amomg the answers we've got so far. The following 15 are eluding the best the brains in the office and google can throw at them though I just know some of you will be able to throw some light on them....

 

28. SOLIDLY BUILT (5)

33. LITTLE MO CHARMS US FOR THE ANSWER (5)
