3. Buck's Fizz

Christmas mornings are made for Buck’s Fizz, there’s no other time when it’s quite as acceptable to have a cocktail for breakfast! We love the classic mix of prosecco or champagne with orange juice, but let’s be honest - we’ve drunk many of these in our lives. Why not mix it up this year with our tropical take on this Christmas classic, with mango and pineapple puree. Yum! 

 

What you’ll need: 

• Orange Juice
• Prosecco/Champagne

 

Or, try it tropical:

• Mango purée
• Pineapple purée or Juice
• Prosecco/Champagne

4. Valencian Hot Toddy

Sugar and spice and all things nice...Need something to warm you up after being out in the winter chill? There’s nothing quite like a Hot Toddy for keeping out the chill this festive season. Plus, if you’ve got a sniffle, there’s no better soothing drink. Classically this drink is made using honey, lemon and whisky, but we’ve dropped the honey and replaced it with our sweet Oleo Saccharum syrup for an added sweet citrus kick. You can of course substitute for honey if you’re a stickler for tradition (or you just prefer a little more sweetness). 

 

What you’ll need: 

• Whisky or Dark Rum
• Lemon Juice
• Oleo Saccharum
• Hot water
• Whole spices like cinnamon and clove.

What you’ll need: 

• Raspberry Purée
• Cointreau
• Prosecco

11. Strawberry Mulled Wine 

It’s not really Christmas until you’ve had a big glass of mulled wine! Classic mulled wine is made with red wine, orange juice and spices, served hot.

So, we’ve given this Christmas tradition a Funkin twist, and we think you’re going to love it - we’ve swapped out the orange for sweet strawberry and lime, and kept the spices simple with our spiced syrup.
