The perfect Christmas cocktail, Baileys Chocolate Orange mixes the classic flavours of the season - rich chocolate and zesty orange.
10. Slim Santa
Santa’s been working out, running around getting your presents ready, and the Slim Santa is the result – a combination of vodka, lemonade and pomegranate that’s the colour of Christmas.
11. Espresso Martini
With its rich and refined taste, a classic Espresso Martini is an apt selection for serving as a welcome drink or nightcap instead of coffee.
12. Alcohol-free Spiced Apple Sour
This cosy sour is the perfect non-alcoholic cocktail for your festive get togethers.
13. Negroni
With Mediterranean herbs, and a hint of orange and gin botanicals, the Negroni recipe is full of flavour – and history. This classic Italian cocktail is loved by bartenders for its subtle bitterness and use of vermouth. Best enjoyed next to a crackling fire on a cosy winter's night - but that's just our opinion.
17. Kiss Above the Clouds
Based on a Manhattan, Kiss Above The Clouds was created by Cross Yu, China’s Bartender of the Year. It’s rich and warm, smooth yet complex, with a long lasting finish, and garnished with a small homemade side of grilled orange and cinnamon that complements the drink’s chocolate flavours.
14. Baileys eggnog
Delicious and simple, this homely serve incorporates Baileys for a twist on the festive classic.

A delicious variation on the classic hot chocolate drink, this adds a fabulous rich, creamy dimension that's not hard to create but made to be savoured with a few friends.
16. Whisky and ginger with cranberry
A simple serve that incorporates some of this season's most ubiquitous flavours - cranberry and whisky.
18. Alcohol free elderflower spritz
Make sure everyone can join in on the toast by mixing up this crowd-pleasing alcohol free spritzer.
