With so many new and exciting cocktails and mixed drinks launching during the year, it’s easy to forget about the classic ones that we all love. But, Christmas is the perfect time to revisit old favourites – with just one sip, they will make you realise why the recipes have stood the test of time. Mix these up for your next festive gathering or simply wind down with a glass aftera day of Christmas shopping.
Dry martini
This is a great example of how ice is an ingredient in its own right. Take time stirring and tasting the drink until it’s diluted to your liking.
Rum old-fashioned
Try using rum in place of whisky in an old fashioned for a slight twist on the traditional drink.
