Cinnamon sticks for garnish
Preparation
1. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, fill with ice cubes and shake well.

The first is this sweet mocktail called Christmas Time. Just because you prefer to abstain from alcohol or might be driving doesn't mean you have to do without elaborately prepared cold drinks. The next drink, Christmas Punch, is also fruity, but with a special flavour.
Our biggest wish? A Christmas Punch
Ingredients for two drinks

Preparation

The two juices give Christmas Punch a sweet sensation, while the ginger ale, fresh ginger and spice give it a pleasant sharpness. You'll find a large selection of high-quality rums in your ScandiPark. You can add special flavours with golden or dark rum or emphasise the spiciness of the cocktail with Spiced Rum.
