Whisky Christmas Cocktail: Scotch Recipe

Move over eggnog, see you later mulled wine… bring in the festive season with a sweet and spicy scotch drink. We call it the Ballantine’s Whisky Christmas Cocktail, but it tastes just as good 365 days of the year.

Whisky Christmas Cocktail Ingredients

HOW WE MAKE a Whisky Christmas Cocktail

  • Frist, we make the spiced pear syrup. Add the copped pear, sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves & lemon to a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Cool, strain and refrigerate. (The syrup will keep for 4 weeks once it’s refrigerated).
  • Then, add your Ballantines, spiced pear syrup and lemon juice to a pre heated glass.
  • Heat your cranberry juice in a saucepan over a medium heat before adding approximately 120ml to the glass.
  • Stir gently to mix and sip under the mistletoe!
