Christmas Pudding Vodka

A boozy treat to wow your family and friends – delicious after dinner as a seasonal sweet finish to the meal.

What are two things people love the most over the holiday season? Traditional flavours and alcohol. Delicious Christmas cocktails are the epitome of a tradition.

Nothing gets Christmas lovers more excited than a festive cocktail. Whether you are having a movie night in or hosting a full-blown extravaganza event, Christmas Pudding Vodka is always a great idea over the holiday season.

We have been perfecting this appealing tipple recipe for the past 10 years. Although it is quick to make, the vodka itself takes about a month to prepare so be sure to start the process well before your event.

Ingredients

• 75cl of good quality vodka
• ground mixed spice
• 500g mincemeat
• caster sugar
• 250g marzipan, chopped up

Method

Place all ingredients into a container, stir well and then seal in an airtight container. Leave for one month, stirring every few days. Strain the liqueur through muslin and decant into an attractive bottle. Serve chilled in glasses rimmed with caster sugar and spice (wet the rim of the glass and dip into a saucer of sugar/spice mix – it will dry into a crust).
