Raise a glass: Douglas Blyde
(Picture: Natasha Pszenicki)“Christmas isn’t just a day. It’s a frame of mind.”
So said Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street; it’s an idea worth hanging onto as party season runs on. It’s a time to experiment, too, to use usually-overlooked ingredients to new effect. Take cranberry sauce and pomegranates at Christmas; one expects to encounter them at Christmas — though not neccesarily in cocktail form. Here, then, is a duo of thoughtful serves which combine these ingredients to appetising effect, followed by another unconventional offering: a vegan milk punch. Their preparation will remove you from the inlaws, in-fights, food and films for a few moments while making you appear as positive and fully festive as Kringle. Have one for us.
