As the darker nights draw in, we find ourselves turning our backs on fruity summer serves and towards more festive flavours come 5pm. This spiced apple and ginger cocktail is perfect for autumn and requires just a few ingredients to make. We love to serve it chilled over ice, or warmed through by a roaring fire.

The recipe makes enough for 10 guests (around 2 litres), so it's one to save for Halloween, Bonfire Night, or your next dinner party.
