Hands up if you’ve still got the Christmas shopping to do? Yup, us too… Don’t worry, there’s still time to get your Santa on (Royal Mail permitting) and to help you, we’ve picked out a list of gifts for the cocktail lovers in your life – from £10 and under to blow the budget.

We also try a couple of products we’d love to find in our Christmas stockings; Claridge’s Gin and a Ron Zacapa limited edition.

Plus we drop into Common Decency to try experience the Holiday Spectacular…

The Cocktail Lovers podcast, Episode 8, Season 4 – listen here!

What we’re mixing:

Julie’s Sherry Cobbler ( 1 large or 2 small serves)

Ingredients:
90ml Lustau East India Solera Sherry
30ml dark rum
15ml double cream
15ml simple syrup or cinnamon syrup
1 small egg
Grated nutmeg to garnish

Method:
Combine the sherry, rum, cream, syrup and egg in a shaker and shake without ice (30-45 seconds) to emulsify the egg. Add ice to the shaker and shake again, until chilled. Strain into a wine glass over fresh ice and garnish with grated nutmeg.
