Fun and Festive Cocktail Recipes

With the party season in full swing, Double Dutch, the producers of premium tonics and mixers, is ready to elevate the festivites with three Christmassy cocktails, specially crafted using festive flavour favourites: cranberry and ginger.

Each of these delightful recipes features Double Dutch’s Cranberry & Ginger Tonic. The tartness of cranberries and the warmth of ginger spices infuse these cocktails with extra festive flair, doubling up the party spirit.

Embrace some spontaneity this Christmas season and unleash your creativity with some home-made festive sips. Containing no more than five ingredients in each, these easy-to-make drinks can be enjoyed by both seasoned cocktail connoisseurs and novices. Cheers!

Double Dutch tonics and mixers are available to purchase directly from the Double Dutch website, with a x24 pack of Double Dutch Cranberry and Ginger Tonic priced at £23.25. Double Dutch is also available to shop via Amazon, Ocado and at Tesco.
