Need a Christmassy cocktail to serve to your guests? Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson stirs a Christmas Cup with cherry brandy! She says, “For parties or any type of seasonal entertaining, I like a cocktail that gets poured together in a jug rather than mixed up by the glass. And this is the perfect drink for Christmas — the fizzy white wine (any dry white will do) adds sparkle, while the cherry brandy brings a tongue-in-cheek touch of great-aunt’s tipple and the ginger ale provides the perfect seasonal spiciness.”
Ingredients (Serves: 10)
- Bottle of prosecco (or other dry, white, fizzy wine): 1 (750 ml)
- Cherry brandy: 125 ml
- Dry ginger ale: 500 ml
Method
- Chill the fizzy wine and ginger ale and pop a glass jug big enough to hold all the ingredients to chill in the fridge, too, if you like
- Pour the bottle of wine into your jug, add the cherry brandy and then the ginger ale and give a gentle stir to mix (but do not remove any fizz)
- Pour into glasses of your choice. If you’d like to add ice to the glasses as you serve, feel free!
Note: It is not advisable to make ahead or store. Make and serve immediately.
