Spices add depth and character not just to food but also drinks and cocktails.

Using infused spirits and flavoured liqueurs is a great way to start your adventure with new exciting flavours. You can also make your very own syrups by combining sugar, water and a choice of spices. Autumn spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, star anise and cardamom are aromatic and add a sense of warmth and cosiness. Rim your glass in ground spice and grate a small amount on top of your cocktail right before serving for a wow factor.
