Without a doubt, Christmas is a time of pure, shameless indulgence. The way we stuff ourselves with an outrageous amount of food is almost disgusting, but the truth is , that’s exactly why it’s so beautiful.

But as beautiful as it is, sometimes it’s hard to stomach the indulgence. Especially when you’ve finished a massive bowl of Christmas pudding and your casually alcoholic auntie cracks out the Baileys.

An internal struggle ensues – you want to get drunk, but Bailey’s is just a bit too much right now.

Don’t worry – as usual, we’ve got your back. Try our fruity Grynch cocktail – it’s the refreshing alternative way to get your merry on. It may be as green as the Grinch, but it definitely won’t get you grumpy.
