Coffee of course.

Second best MILK!

A recent survey showed folks LIKE fruitcake...the overwhelming majority said they would eat the fruitcake, not send it away.

I've never tried brandy with the fruitcake. That could be interesting.

I only ever drink water or coffee and rarely a glass of champagne. But as I don't indulge in fruitcake (ever), there is no best beverage for me.

I personally like fruitcake but not the ones laden with those huge chunks of candied fruit. I make my own. But it seems here the old axiom fits when it comes to fruitcake:

"Don't get even--give fruitcake!"

Also it is rumored that only ONE fruitcake was ever made and it keeps getting regifted every year!
