Christmas Martini

Here is yet another ‘Martini’ recipe that includes absolutely none of ingredients required for an actual Martini. Hailing from the pen of Miriam Nice of the BBC Good Food team, this is an easy Christmas treat that Nice describes as akin to bottled Christmas cake. Make a batch of the syrup ahead of time.
