Whether you don’t drink or just fancy a night off, this festive mocktail recipe makes a sophisticated stand-in for the real McCoy.

Plus, it’s topped with kombucha, a probiotic-rich drink which delivers beneficial bacteria to your gut. Garnished with cranberries and a sprig of rosemary, it’s the perfect teetotal tipple for a Christmas get-together.
