This classic American holiday-season drink is usually time-consuming to make and generates plenty of washing-up. We’ve cut some corners, without diminishing the flavour.

3 eggs
75g (3oz) caster sugar
50ml (2fl oz) brandy
100ml (3½fl oz) whole milk

It wouldn’t be Christmas without this warm, richly spiced tipple … but it’s a pretty potent mix, so be warned!
Serves 8
Hands-on time: 10 minutes, plus infusing
Cooking time: 5 minutes
125g (4oz) golden caster sugar
1 cinnamon stick
6 juniper berries, crushed
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 orange, studded with cloves, then cut into thin slices
1 lemon, thinly sliced
150ml (¼ pint) orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
75cl bottle red wine
Per serving 193 cals, 0g protein, 0g fat (0g saturates), 20g carbs (20g total sugars), 0g fibre
1. Put the sugar in a pan with 450ml (15fl oz) of water. Add the cinnamon stick, juniper berries, nutmeg, one orange slice and the lemon slices. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to stand for 10 minutes to allow everything to infuse.
2. Add the orange liqueur and red wine, and heat through gently, then pour into a jug. Add the remaining orange slices and serve.
A seductive sipper to set the mood for a romantic evening.
Serves 2
Hands-on time: 10 minutes
4 passion fruit (see GH tip here)
100ml (3½fl oz) vodka
200ml (7fl oz) pomegranate juice
Juice of 1 lemon
Per serving 164 cals, 0g protein, 0g fat (0g saturates), 13g carbs (13g total sugars), 0g fibre
1. Halve three of the passion fruit and scoop the pulp into a sieve set over a jug. With a wooden spoon, press the pulp to release the juice into a jug (discarding the seeds). Add the vodka, pomegranate juice and lemon juice.
2. Stir in a handful of ice cubes and leave for 30 seconds to chill. Strain back through a sieve into two martini glasses. Halve the remaining passion fruit, then garnish each glass with half a passion fruit and serve immediately.
Choose passion fruits with wrinkly skins as this indicates ripeness.
Shop-bought vegetable crisps or crumbled Stilton would make a lovely alternative garnish for this soup.
