This December, we’re serving something a little different, and a lot more delicious, than your classic Mulled Wine. Introducing our winter cocktail of the month: Festive Hot Aperol.

It’s a warm, aromatic twist on a classic apéritif, it’s quickly becoming the winter cocktail that everyone is talking about. If you love the comfort of a mulled drink but want something a little brighter and lighter, with a citrus depth, this is the perfect winter cocktail to enjoy this festive season.

The ingredients that make the perfect winter cocktail

The festive Hot Aperol is crafted with a blend of delicious ingredients, chosen for their seasonal notes and perfect balance.

  • Aperol- brings a citrus, bittersweet flavour to the drink.
  • Apple juice- adds a gentle sweetness and a comforting warmth.
  • Orange juice- brightens the drink with a tangy citrus flavour.
  • Pinot grigio- adds depth and smoothness.
  • Cinnamon, cloves & star anise- classic Christmas spices that define a true winter cocktail.

Every serving is completed with a slice of fresh orange for that extra burst of citrus flavour.

How we serve it

We slowly warm this blend of festive flavours until the spices infuse fully, creating a rich aroma that instantly brings a festive feeling to the air. It’s served piping hot in our insulated cups, staying warm whilst you stroll around Christmas markets or mingle with your guests- making it the perfect winter cocktail for any festive occasion.

If you’re hosting it at home, we recommend using a classic mulled wine glass to keep your drink warmer for longer and for that festive feeling. You could even use your favourite Christmas mug for the cosier nights in.
