Winter has well and truly set in, and there’s nothing we look forward to more after a bone-chillingly cold day than getting home and relaxing in the warmth with thick socks and a few festive-smelling candles. Throw a few winter spice cocktails into the mix, and we love December more than any other month of the year.

Luckily, the team at The Wild Geese® , pioneers of exceptional rum and whiskey mixing, agree – and they’ve shared some of their top festive season cocktails recipes with us, and with you. Here you go. Enjoy! (And remember to drink responsibly.)

Whiskey cocktails

    50ml THE WILD GEESE® SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY
    25ml absinthe
    2 drops of one sugar cube
    peychauds bitters
    10ml cognac
    lemon peel

You will need two glasses: one glass with ice and the absinthe (or any pastis). The other one to prepare the actual drink.

In the second glass, add bitters and sugar cube then mix with a little water.

The idea is to melt the sugar as much as possible, so that you have a clear liquid blended with bitters. Add ice, stir then add the whiskey. Stir again, then add the cognac, stir.

With your first glass, discard the absinthe liquid and ice. Double strain the mixture from your second glass into it. Garnish with a lemon peel.
