Friday Cocktail: The Crambaretto for Bonfire Night

If you're looking for a nice, easy, warming, tasty cocktail that doesn't need much brain power, look no further than the Crambaretto. It puts together some gorgeous autumnal flavours, and will heat you through any Bonfire Night celebrations you might have planned.

Don't be fooled by the simplicity, the rich, fruity, soothing flavours are perfect for sipping, and cry out for a pitcher to be close at hand.

This will also be a beautiful pitcher to have at Christmas dinner parties, but to be honest, I just drink it all year round.

The Crambaretto recipe (serves one)

Ingredients:

• 3 shots cranberry juice
• 1.5 shots amaretto
• 0.5 shot triple sec/cointreau/grand marnier
• 2 tbsp fresh orange juice

Shake it!

1. Pour all ingredients in a cocktail shaker over ice. Shake it like a catherine wheel.
2. Strain into an old-fashioned glass, and garnish with a slice of orange and - if you have any handy - a couple of fresh cranberries.
