Winter cocktails
Winter cocktails lean into warmth, comfort and a bit of theatre, from creamy dessert-style serves to hot punches and richer builds that feel right on a cold night. Sugar Cookie Martini and Santa's Stiff Hot Chocolate show the sweeter, cozier end of the range, while Winter pimms punch and Tiger’s Milk point towards bigger, more festive drinks with plenty of flavour. In the results, you can compare base spirit, strength, format, technique, occasion and flavour direction, whether you want something hot, creamy, spiced or long enough to serve for a gathering.
