IDEAL FOR A FESTIVE MOCKTAIL: WINTER BERRY PUNCH FROM RIBENA

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.

The hot mocktail blends Ribena Winter Spice with pomegranate juice, apple juice, cloves and cinnamon to epitomise the taste of the festive season. Served hot, this spicy winter drink will wrap you right up in the Christmas spirit.

Whether you’re the designated driver or just fancy a non-alcoholic brew, the Winter Berry Punch makes the perfect party punch alongside your Christmas cocktail selection for any occasion.

To recreate the Ribena Winter Berry Punch, Michael has broken down the elements simply so you can make it at home:

Winter Berry Punch

  • 200ml Ribena Winter Spice 200ml Pomegranate Juice 100ml Apple Juice
  • 6 cloves
