Ingredients

  • Cloves· not in your bar10

    Or swap: Allspice — similar warm spice

  • Vodka· not in your bar6 ¾ oz

    Or swap: Gin — adds botanical notes, White Rum — a touch sweeter

  • Cherry Juice· not in your bar1 bottle

    Or swap: Cranberry Juice — tarter, lighter

  • Chili Powder· not in your bar1
  • Ginger· not in your bar6

    Or swap: Ginger Syrup — adds sweetness too

  • Orange Peel(optional)· not in your bar3

Instructions

  1. Tip the cherry juice, orange peel, chilli, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger into a large saucepan. Simmer for 5 mins, then turn off the heat. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or up to 2 days – the longer you leave it the more intense the flavours. If serving to young children, take the chilli out after a few hours.

  2. When you’re ready to serve, pour the juice into a jug. Serve in glass bottles or glasses and pop a straw in each. If you're adding vodka, do so at this stage. Dangle a fangs sweet from each glass.
