This Christmas, Padstow Christmas Fayre is serving up more than just festive cheer — it’s bringing a taste of Cornwall straight to your glass! Southwestern Distillery shares three wonderfully seasonal cocktails that are perfect for warming up your winter days or adding sparkle to your evening.
Don’t miss founder Tarquin Leadbetter on stage in the Chef’s Theatre at 5pm on Thursday (December 4th) for a cocktail demonstration – he’ll be teaching us all the tricks of the trade!
Tarquin’s Festive Fizz
Start your celebration with a sparkling sip! Combining 50ml of Tarquin’s Spirit of Christmas Gin with 50ml of cranberry juice, this cocktail is topped with Knightor Cornish sparkling wine and garnished with a bright orange wheel. Served in a champagne glass, it’s as festive as it is refreshing — perfect for raising a toast at the Fayre.
Spiced Rum Hot Chocolate
For a cozy treat, nothing beats a mug of this indulgent drink. Warm 150ml of milk with 3 teaspoons of cocoa powder, then add 25ml of Twin Fin Spiced Golden Rum. Top with a swirl of squirty cream and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg. Rich, comforting, and with just the right kick, it’s Christmas in a cup.
Nutty Ginger
Sometimes simple is best. Mix 50ml of Tinner Bros Toffee Nut Whisky with 125ml of ginger ale over plenty of ice for a sweet, spicy, and fizzy cocktail that’s easy to sip and hard to forget.
You can also pick-up a limited edition Padstow Christmas Fayre Tarquin’s Gin via our online shop or come find us in the Christmas Market at the Fayre too. Cheers to a Cornish Christmas!
