Try delicious combinations such as the Gojiberry Cosmo which uses super food goji berry liqueur, Cointreau, orange juice and cranberry juice.

Or perhaps the Not So Bloody Mary is more your thing. With Polugar No 2 garlic and pepper vodka, carrot juice, lime, Worcester sauce, cumin Tabasco and chilli, you’re guaranteed a refreshing and uplifting take on this classic.

MIX YOUR OWN COCKTAILS

OF course, you don’t have to head out for a Winter Cocktail on these cold nights, with the help of Caorunn Gin there’s no reason not to mix your very own Caorunn Rabbits Foot (pictured) or Gin Tincture Toddy.

Shake and strain the mixture, spray with lemon oils, and garnish with sprig of thyme

If it’s something to warm you up you fancy, the Gin Tincture Toddy requires 50ml Caorunn Gin, 25ml lemon juice, 1 bar spoon of heather honey, 50ml hot water, 3 dashes of tincture (made using Lady GreyTea and overproof gin).

Build the ingredients in a toddy mug and garnish with orange zest, cinnamon stick. Cheers!
