Yes, Christmas is just around the corner and that calls for a nice Christmas drink, right? At work or perhaps at home with friends, everyone will like this Christmas cocktail with gin. The basic principle of this cocktail is simple: Gin! but of course you can vary endlessly with the rest of the drink you add. In this case, Spa with a flavour, but that could also be tonic or another type of sparkling water. We make the syrup ourselves, it's a piece of cake and you can easily store it. In my opinion, orange and pomegranate really suit this season, so we also add those to the glass.

Now I write that we use gin, but here too there is plenty of variation. Vodka, gin or another liqueur or spirit can also be used for this. And that is the great thing about making cocktails. You can go in any direction with it and give it your own taste.

Enjoy but drink in moderation…. That still applies of course, if you don't drink alcohol at all, you can make it with the 0,0% version. There are plenty of alternatives for sale these days.

Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the cocktail below. Cheers!
