In the spirit of the festive season, here is our fresh take on classic Christmas cocktails with seasonal ingredients.

Our Signature and Seasonal cocktails are truly unique to The Wild Rabbit – join us by the bar. For those unable to join us, here are a few recipes to make ‘at home’.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.

Apple Pie Moscow Mule

A classic cocktail, given a festive twist by using our own vodka infused with apple and cinnamon.

Ingredients:
1 part Organic cloudy apple juice
1 part vodka infused with apples and cinnamon
1 part Organic ginger beer
Glass full of ice
Organic apple from the orchard at Daylesford for decoration.

Mix together all ingredients and serve in a traditional copper mug.

Kir Royal with Pomegranate and Homemade Rosemary Syrup

Ideal as a light aperitif.

Ingredients:
1 part Pomegranate liqueur
3 parts Champagne
Teaspoon of homemade rosemary syrup

Mix and serve in a champagne glass.

Salted Caramel White Russian

An indulgent after dinner drink to enjoy by the fire.

Ingredients:
50ml Salted caramel vodka
35ml Irish cream (instead of baileys)
35ml Amaretto
50ml Cream

Pour in a tumbler.
Finish with an additional dribble of salted caramel.

Chestnut Whisky Sour

Ideal as an aperitif, our whisky sour is given a festive twist by the addition of chestnut cream, which can be found at many specialist grocers. We use a single malt whiskey for a cleaner taste.

Ingredients:
50ml whisky – not a peaty one – single malt or blended
25ml lemon juice
10ml simple sugar syrup
Teaspoon chestnut cream
Ice cubes

Mix all ingredients together in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.
Pour over ice.
Serve in a classic tumbler.
