Winter Spice: Bold, Fruity and Comfortingly Fiery

If you’re looking for a cocktail that warms without weighing you down, the Winter Spice delivers all the seasonal depth and zing you could ask for. With a base of cloudy apple juice and cranberry, topped with the fiery fizz of Double Dutch Ginger Beer, it’s a perfectly balanced blend of fruit, spice, and festive spirit. Finished with crystallised ginger on a skewer, this cocktail is as beautiful to serve as it is satisfying to sip.

The Winter Spice is a non-alcoholic cocktail that brings maximum flavour and minimum fuss. It starts with the mellow sweetness of apple juice and the tart punch of cranberry, creating a fruity base that’s bold but not overpowering. Then comes the hero: Double Dutch Ginger Beer. With natural ginger heat and a clean, sparkling finish, it lifts the drink into something vibrant, warming, and totally refreshing — perfect for cosy nights or festive occasions.

Why We Love It

The Winter Spice is like a fireside hug in cocktail form. It’s rich in flavour, has a lovely seasonal aroma, and feels indulgent without being overly sweet. It’s also a fantastic option for guests who are looking to skip the booze — it’s grown-up, full of character, and anything but boring. Plus, that crystallised ginger garnish? Total showstopper.

Perfect For…

This cocktail is a must-serve at winter gatherings. It’s ideal for Christmas parties, holiday brunches, or as a festive welcome drink for any celebration. It also pairs beautifully with snacks like spiced nuts, cheese boards, or mince pies. Whether you’re entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet night in, Winter Spice is the kind of cocktail that instantly sets the mood.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Ginger Beer is what makes this drink sing. It’s not your average ginger beer — this one’s crafted with natural ingredients and delivers a gentle warmth that lingers in all the right ways. The spice balances out the fruitiness of the apple and cranberry, turning this into a layered, exciting serve that keeps you coming back for more.

Top Tips for Serving

  • Use cloudy apple juice: It adds depth, richness, and a rustic, wintry colour.
  • Garnish with a flourish: A skewer of crystallised ginger not only looks gorgeous but adds a sweet-spicy nibble with every sip.
  • Serve over plenty of ice: This keeps the drink crisp and elevates the sparkle from the ginger beer.

Warming, zesty and effortlessly festive, the Winter Spice is your answer to seasonal sipping without the booze. It’s bold, beautiful, and just the right amount of fiery — the perfect drink to toast the season in style.
