Top 10 Christmas cocktails & winter warmers

Father Christmas might be partial to the odd glass of whisky but for the rest of us the festive season is a good time to branch out and try some warming seasonal cocktails.

With Advent Sunday looming, there's no excuse to delay getting into the Christmas spirit. Well, with your drinks menu at least...Here you are limited only by your imagination and personal taste preferences. Mulled wine is always a crowd-pleaser, and you can get our tips for making the perfect batch at home here. If you want to go a little off-piste, try mulled cider or a Snowball instead. Chocoholics should look no further than a Hot Chocolate Punch or Gingerbread Hot Chocolate, while classic festive drinkers should stick with a rosy-coloured Campari & Soda. The best news for sweet-tooths is that some of these winter warmers are so delicious and creamy, they can even double as dessert. That's what we call a result!
