Spiced Clementine Mulled Whisky (Serves 2)

During the winter months I’m rather partial to warm cocktails; I definitely don’t need the excuse of a cold to treat myself to a Hot Toddy! This Mulled Whisky is my new favourite…

300ml ginger beer (I like Fentimans)

75ml clementine juice (or orange juice)

1 tablespoon honey

1 cinnamon stick

3 cloves

Small pinch of allspice

100ml whisky

2 slices of fresh or dehydrated orange

  1. Put the ginger beer, clementine juice, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves and allspice in a small pan, and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 minutes to warm through.
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the whisky. Divide between 2 heatproof glasses and garnish with a slice of orange.

Marsala Martini (Serves 1)

I’m partial to a martini and this is my new, absolute favourite. Even if you’re not a martini fan, I urge you to try this as it has a smoother, softer flavour!..

60ml gin

10ml dry marsala wine

10ml dry vermouth

5ml amaretto liqueur

A handful of ice

  1. Stir all the ingredients together with the ice in a mixing glass and strain into a chilled martini glass.

Greta Garbo Cocktail (Serves 1)

If you like the flavour of anise this is definitely one for you! It’s a take on a Daiquiri but with the delicate, fresh notes of anise and maraschino.

60ml white rum (such as Bacardi)

7.5ml Maraschino liqueur

15ml sugar syrup

30ml Lime juice

5ml Pernod aniseed liqueur

Handful of ice

A star anise to garnish

  1. Simply put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake for 15 seconds until cold. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with a star anise.
