Ideas for a Welcome Drink in Winter or Summer

Two Tips for Festive Welcome Drinks—Sunshine or Fireplace!

In the Northern Hemisphere, cater to a crowd with a slow cooker. Choose your favourite mulled wine, mulled-apple-juice, or a delicious mock-mulled-wine that uses pomegranate juice. Set out liqueurs or spirits for guests to add their own boozy twist. Pour the ingredients into the slow cooker on low, and place glasses and optional add-ins (fruit or alcohol) on a tray. As guests arrive, serve them a warm, welcoming drink.

In the Southern Hemisphere, freeze cranberries or summer fruits and serve alongside an ice bucket to keep drinks cool and looking festive. Add pomegranate seeds to each glass for an extra festive touch.

These simple tips make hosting easy and fun.

Have a wonderful festive season.
