Merry Christmas to all the readers of my blog, and thank you for all your support so far!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve made quite a few other Christmas drinks before &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=11128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saint Clement&#8217;s Cocktail<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=10548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christmas Sangria Blanca<\/a>,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=11391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strawberry Lemonade Slushies<\/a> etc. This Christmas punch is slightly different from the previous mixes, as it has a more spiced taste (not as strong as mulled wine), and is very sweet, which I like. It also is quite healthy, with a good mix of fruit slices which you can munch on once you finish the drink. The visual of the way this drink is served is very appealing (very red!) &#8211; definitely a good conversation starter at any parties or dinners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dear Santa, please let this week stay for as long as it can be. I would like Christmas to take a pause for longer this year, so that I can rest for a while more. Thank you Santa!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Orange: 2 + extra to slice thinly<\/li>\n<li>Cloves: a handful<\/li>\n<li>Red grape juice: 500ml<\/li>\n<li>Apple juice: 500ml<\/li>\n<li>Honey: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Ground nutmeg: a pinch<\/li>\n<li>Cinnamon: 1 stick<\/li>\n<li>Apple: 1, sliced thinly<\/li>\n<li>Rosemary sprigs: 3 &#8211; 4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stud oranges with cloves.<\/li>\n<li>Place oranges, red grape juice, apple juice, honey, ground nutmeg and cinnamon stick in a saucepan.
