Non-alcoholic Christmas cocktails: how to make a quince and ginger highball

Mocktails have a bad rep, but they're actually a really good opportunity to get creative with flavours.

We asked Missy Flynn, founder of Bodega Rita's and all round cocktail genius, to concoct a booze-free tipple perfect for the long festive evenings. It's dry, complex without even a hint of sickly sweetness.

Below is a recipe for Missy's spicy winter warmer using the season's best ingredients: quince and cinnamon.

Ingredients:

Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

1 tbsp of quince puree (made with blended quince and added brown sugar to taste)

Soda water

Ice
