ORCHARD FORAGE COCKTAIL

This delicious cocktail comes from Slane Distillery in Co Meath and was created by lead mixologist Barry Farrell. It uses Foamee to create a frothy top, but you could use another egg-free replacement or egg white instead if you prefer. Full of cosy flavours, this cocktail would be perfect enjoyed by the fire

WHAT YOU NEED

Crushed ice

50ml Slane Irish Whiskey Extra Sherry Wood

25ml apple liqueur 

10ml cinnamon syrup

½ fresh lime, squeezed

100ml Cockagee Pressed Apple Juice

3 drops Foamee

Dehydrated apple slice and ground cinnamon, to garnish

WHAT YOU DO

Step 1. Collect your equipment. You’ll need a cocktail shaker, hawthorn strainer, juice squeezer, jigger and bar mixing spoon and muddler.
Step 2. Half fill the cocktail shaker with ice, then add the rest of the ingredients, excluding garnish.

Step 3. Fill a glass with ice, then shake the mix for 20 seconds.

Step 4. Strain the cocktail into your ice-filled glass, then garnish with dehydrated apple and a dusting of cinnamon.

EASY GINGERBREAD BISCUITS

This exclusive recipe is for gingerbread biscuit dough, which you can use to cut into whichever shapes you like. You could go for stars, people and trees, but you can opt for whatever takes your fancy, even a gingerbread house if you're brave enough

MULLED RED WINE 

Mulled wine is quintessentially Christmas but it can be horrible if made with poor quality wine and too many spices. This simple recipe  from the Allen family at Ballymaloe House will ensure you get the balance right

HONEY GINGER PEARS WITH

NUTMEG CUSTARD

“This dessert plays an enchanting trick of kitchen alchemy — as the pears cook, they soften to fork-tender, and yet as the custard heats and cools, it gets thicker. Magic! " - Alice Zaslavsky

BAKED EGGS WITH BACON AND CHILLI

“This moreish dish is fiery and extremely satisfying; perfect for a weekend breakfast where you can take a little longer to sit back, relax and savour the comforting texture of creamy baked eggs” –
Hugo Arnold

SUPER EASY SMOOTHIE BOWL

At this time of year, I like to use frozen fruit for the smoothie base, then top it with some fresh blackberries, which are in season, or if I have no fresh fruit available, some dried fruit is the perfect topping recipe 

ROASTED SQUASH AND PANCETTA SOUP

The sweetness of butternut squash is complemented by the saltiness of the crispy pancetta in this beautiful soup. Serve it with some Parmesan-coated garlic bread for an extra salty kick
