Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, is the perfect time to gather around a crackling fire, enjoy the crisp autumn air, and indulge in warming alcoholic drinks. While traditional mulled wine and hot chocolate are always popular, this year, celebrate with a selection of fortified wines, mead, and cocktails? These drinks not only offer rich, complex flavours but also bring a sense of warmth and comfort that's perfect for a chilly November evening.
