1. Berry & Bright Gimlet Cocktail
We're used to seeing the beautiful hue of the Holly berry around Christmas time, but who's to say that we can't capture that wonder in a cocktail?
The Berry and Bright Grimlet cocktail is a smorgasbord of berries infused with our signature sliqueur; blended with Strawberries, Cranberry, Blackberry & Lychee with a kick of Gin.
The perfect go-to if you're looking for a berry taste this Christmas. Throw some dried cranberries on top for a beautiful garnish and don't forget to match the colours on the table to really wow your guests.
2. Snowy Pornstar Martini
Time to bring the snow indoors and build a different kind of Snowman!
The Snowy Pornstar Martini is a winter twist on the much-loved Pornstar Martini. With a tropical Sliqueur; blended with Mango, Passion Fruit, Coconut & Tonka Bean, your taste buds will be screaming for another sip.
You can't get anymore tropical than this, especially with added Daymer Bay Pineapple Juice. With edible snowman rice paper to garnish, you and your guests can build a different kind of snowman, one that tastes much nicer.
3. Frosty Espresso Martini
An espresso martini sounds like the perfect pick-me-up from the winter weather. A Roasted Sliqueur; blended with Chocolate, Coffee, Marshmallow & Roasted Hazelnut gets the taste buds working and relaxes the soul.
For espresso lovers, you can't get better than this.
Treat your party guests - or yourself - by gentle sprinkling some desiccated coconut around the edges of the glass to give it a frosty feel.
4. Christmas Negroni
Sometimes, a little Santa hat is all you need to get you through the Winter. The Negroni is a classic drink that turns heads by its own rights, and we're here to give it a respected cheeky twist.
With our Rhubarb & Ginger Sliqueur, touch of Gin & Campari, you'll be pulling back asking yourself how can something taste so similar, but so different at the same time before taking another sip.
While Santa hat and straw aren't required, they are highly recommended. There's nothing more sophisticated about a drink with style.
5. Lychee and Lavender Collins
Lavender and Lychee are a powerhouse of delectable scents. The floral kick of Lavender paired with the aromatic acidic notes of the Lychee send our taste buds into a spiral.
A Lychee and Lavender Sliqueur Cocktail mixed with Gin and tonic water for the perfect serve - what could be better?
Not to mention that this cocktail looks absolutely breath-taking, as if we have been transported to a lavender garden mid drink. You can top your drink with dried lavender to provide an authentic garnish or enjoy with a scented candle for a relaxing beverage.
6. Salted Caramel Old-Fashioned
If you're less of an espresso kind of drinker and more caramel then have we got the perfect treat for you.
Any cocktail with whisky needs to be treated with the sophistication it deserves. This beauty keeps things simple with a Salted Caramel Sliqueur & a kick of whisky. A drink to enjoy with your feet up.
Garnish the top of your glass with a chocolate, drop in an ice cube and bask in the cocktail you've created.
7. Candy Cane Gin Fizz Cocktail
If there were ever a cocktail that could capture the feeling of Christmas, we reckon it would be this.
With a flavourful twist on the Ramos Gin Fizz, the Candy Cane Gin Fizz is infused with our signature Floral Sliqueur; blended with Raspberry, Rose, Hibiscus & Pomegranate.
With our detailed instructions, you'll be able to make this drink like a pro in no-time, including whipping up a stunning fizz that'll take the spotlight at any event.
8. Mistletoe Mojito
Have you ever thought - what would a garden taste like?
Well, there's not getting closer to that thought than with our Mistletoe Mojito Cocktail - a quintessential twist on the mojito using our signature Garden Sliqueur; blended with Elderflower, Green Apples, Lemongrass & Cucumber.
An English Garden in a glass.
Top your glass with London Essence soda water for that perfect pour and take your garnish to the next level with Christmas themed 100s and 1000s.
