    This pumpkin cocktail combines winter spices, pumpkin puree and rum! It's a creamy and delicious cocktail - with veg!

    A cup of drink on a wooden table.
    Christmas doesn't end until New Year's Eve in my house.

    We continue picking at the carcass of the Christmas cake, digging the last of the pistachios from the discarded nut shells (what sort of BARBARIAN leaves the shells in the dish????) and start reintroducing the green smoothies to counteract the shame of the heaving glass recycling bin until we see in the New Year.

    NYE is my daughter's birthday so by then Christmas will be replaced by the tears and laughter of a 2nd birthday party.

    Until then, however, I shall continue with a few sneaky treats such as this spiced milk punch with added wintery spices and pureed pumpkin.

    Vegetable cocktails. Now THAT's the way to ease the guilt of excess.

    In the summer I love a nice cucumber caipirinha  but the winter is all about warming spices. But they don't have to be in hot drinks. I love a festive glass of mulled gin cocktail.
