As the festive season steps up a gear so does the drinking. However, sometimes it’s nice to have a night off from mulled wine a Christmas cocktails. Luckily for us, this year Ribena has bought back it’s Winter Spice squash – its first ever drink designed to be served hot.
For a delicious non-alcoholic alternative to classic mulled wine, top mixologist Michael Stringer of BlackLeaf Events has created the Ribena Winter Berry Punch, to cover every festive moment.
