SPICE AND ALL THINGS NICE

Spice and All Things Nice: The Warm Hug You Didn't Know You Needed

If comfort had a flavour, it would taste like the Spice and All Things Nice cocktail. This beautifully balanced drink blends warm spices, rich spirits, and bright citrus to create a cocktail that feels like a fireside chat — mellow, aromatic, and a little bit magical. Perfect for colder evenings or when you just need a little pick-me-up, this is the cocktail equivalent of wrapping yourself in a soft, fluffy blanket.

The Inspiration Behind the Drink

The Spice and All Things Nice cocktail was designed with nostalgia in mind. Think mulled cider meets modern mixology — the result is a drink that soothes the senses with clove, cinnamon, and a twist of orange. It’s like stepping into your favourite Christmas market, with a grown-up twist and a glass that warms you from the inside out.

When to Serve

This is the drink you bring out when the weather turns crisp and your jumpers come out of storage. It’s ideal for autumn gatherings, holiday dinners, or quiet nights by the fireplace. It’s also a lovely addition to cocktail menus where you want something a little more comforting and unexpected.

Double Dutch Pairings

We recommend pairing this with Double Dutch Spiced Ginger Beer to really bring out the warming flavours, or try it with Cranberry & Ginger for a fruitier, more festive note. Both mixers elevate the base spirit and allow the spice to shine without overpowering the drink.

Top Tips for a Perfect Serve

• Use quality spices: Freshly grated nutmeg or whole star anise go a long way.
• Don’t over-sweeten: Let the spices do the talking — balance is key.
• Serve warm or cold: This cocktail can be enjoyed over ice or gently warmed for a cosy twist.

Garnish Ideas

For added flair, garnish with an orange peel twist, cinnamon stick, or dried apple slice. These not only enhance the aroma but also make the drink feel extra special.
