festive drink

Make perfectly spiced mulled wine at Christmas with our easy recipe. Use a good quality red wine like an unoaked tempranillo or try a twist with a dash of sloe gin

Classic mulled wine

red wine

cinnamon stick,

star anise

cloves

lemon

tbsp caster sugar

Put the red wine, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, lemon zest and sugar in a large pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 mins.

Remove from the heat and cool, leaving to infuse for about 30 mins.

To serve, heat without boiling, stir in the sloe gin (if using, see tip below) and pour into mugs or heatproof glasses.

Ready in 10 minutes, this warming mulled cider is so simple to make. I&#39;m using mulled fruit teabags, instead of individual spices for the ultimate simplicity.

Easy Mulled Cider

Add everything to a pan.

Remove the mulled fruit teabags and orange peel.

Serve immediately, or keep warm over a low heat until ready to serve.

Serve topped with slices of clementine and fresh cranberries

This festive Grinch Punch is a fun, refreshing party drink that's perfect for holiday gatherings.

The addition of heart-shaped strawberries adds a charming and colorful touch, making it an eye-catching centerpiece for any celebration.

Grinch Punch with Green Hawaiian &#038; Lime Sherbet Recipe

punch,

Sprite

lime sherbet

strawberries,

Prepare the strawberries

Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them by removing the green leafy tops, and carefully cut each into heart shapes to add a festive visual element to the punch.

Combine the Hawaiian punch and soda

In a large punch bowl, pour the chilled green Hawaiian punch and chilled Sprite or 7-UP together. Gently stir to mix the flavors.

Add the lime sherbet

Using a large spoon or scoop, add 4 to 5 generous scoops of lime sherbet on top of the punch mixture. The sherbet will slowly melt and add a creamy texture and tartness.

Incorporate the strawberries

Gently float the heart-shaped strawberries on top of the punch. This adds a decorative and flavorful element to the drink.

Serve immediately

Use a ladle to serve the punch into cups, making sure each serving has some sherbet and strawberries for a balanced, festive experience.
