The team here at Make Me A Cocktail were in the same pickle (or should we say chutney?!) So, we went to our hub of 3,500 cocktails available on makemeacocktail.com, made and tested far too many festive alcoholic drinks (sorry mum!) and finally produced our first book bringing together a shortlisted selection of Christmas cocktails and winter warming drinks we not only tasted amazing but were easy to make, great to make in bulk for a party or create something really different to impress your guests!
Make Me A Cocktail At Christmas is available to buy in paperback from Amazon, or if you need instant inspiration, download your very own copy right now as an eBook!
