The Winter Tonic

The Winter Tonic

The Winter Tonic is the ultimate cosy cocktail for chilly evenings and festive gatherings. This simple yet flavourful serve combines sweet, fresh apple juice with the warming spice of Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger Tonic. Served over ice and finished with aromatic garnishes like star anise and cinnamon, it’s a drink that’s as inviting as it is easy to make.

Why We Love The Winter Tonic

This cocktail brings together classic winter flavours in a refreshing yet comforting way. The apple juice offers natural sweetness, perfectly complemented by the tart cranberry and gentle heat from the ginger tonic.

The Winter Tonic is ideal for holiday parties, cosy nights in, or any time you want a drink that feels warm and cheerful without being heavy.
