Hot Tea Punch
This is a version of Kinderpunsch, a non-alcoholic German drink that is served as an alternative to mulled wine. Make this easy, alcohol-free drink during the holidays.
mulled wine
Adding rum to this Christmas market classic works very well – we’ve added a bit here to compensate for the evaporation of the alcohol during cooking – but it’s not essential if you prefer your drinks a little less strong.
Hot beer
Forget cider and wine – mulled beer is the thing this year during the holidays. Our recipe features Christmassy flavours of cinnamon, clove, star anise and clementine. Simply heat everything together in a pan in the quantities you need.
Spiced the old fashioned way
This festive take on a classic cocktail features a house-made syrup infused with cinnamon, orange and cloves for a warm, subtly spiced finish.
Mulled white wine
Move over, red: mulled white wine with a splash of dry cider is here, and its comforting winter spices will have you feeling festive and jolly this Christmas. Warm it up until the sugar has dissolved, then serve it in steaming mugs to your thirsty guests.
Captain’s coup
A powerful punch that won’t break the bank. It’s very quick to prepare and only contains four ingredients. It’s sure to be a hit with drinks and is ideal if you have guests over. The balance of bitterness, sweetness and fruity white port makes it a sumptuous drink.
