Festive Flare and Winter Warmers

Posted on by

With Christmas just around the corner and festive cheer spreading across the city, Gillray’s expertly mixed Winter Warmer Christmas cocktails can help banish the cold winter night blues and get you in to the swing of the party season!

 

This Christmas Gillray’s team of talented mixologists have innovatively and successfully combined those classic flavours, to deliver Christmas in a glass.

 

 

Get in to the swing of the festive season with the deliciously chic Rudolph cocktail;the perfect combination of orange brandy, benedictine and dry Curacao leaves, delicately finished off with dry Curacao flavoured candy floss. This glamorous cocktail is guaranteed to help you celebrate Christmas 2012 in style.

 

 

 

The Sherry Posset is a modern twist on one of oldest classics in British mixology: the Old World Flip. Elegant and smooth, this cocktail combines Bristol Cream, nutmeg, milk and a hint of caramel.

 

 

 

Why not while away a cold winter evening with Gillray’s inspiring take on Mrs Beeton’s 1869 Mulled Wine recipe; the lively claret gently mulled with ginger wine, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, clementines, honey and bay leaves instantly brings the word Christmas to the lips. Gillray’s Mulled Wine is Christmas in a glass.

 

 

 

Alternatively warm up this winter with a Hot Spiced Mead! With the mead delicately combined with orange liqueur, cloves, cinnamon and star anise, it is impossible to resist this hearty winter warmer!

 

 

The winter warmer cocktails are available at Gillray’s Steakhouse & Bar from 1st December, priced from £10.

 

Gillray’s Steakhouse & Bar within the Marriott Hotel County Hall enjoys a prime position on the South Bank, with picturesque views of some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the river Thames.
