By mistake I made this without the Cranberry juice. My wife tried it and liked it (she abhors Cranberry juice). I added 5ml of sugar syrup instead and it's become a seasonal favourite for my wife.

Great recipe! I see what John means by a hint of cherry - I tasted the same.

I think you get a slightly better balanced cocktail with 15 rather than 20 ml of ginger liqueur but very nice all the same. A good addition to anyone’s festive repertoire

Thanks, Sally. I agreed. I've reduced ginger liqueur to 15ml. I used Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur.

Once again, Simon's cocktails does not disappoint. It is great. It was perfect on Christmas afternoon before the dinner. Was not as sweet as I was expecting and there was a slight hint of cherry. It is a wow!
