Ingredients

  • Red Chilli: 1 thumb-sized red chilli, pierced a few times but left whole
  • Orange: peel from 3 oranges, pared with a vegetable peeler
  • Ginger: 6 slices ginger
  • Clove: 10 cloves
  • Juice: 2l cherry juice
  • Cinnamon Sticks: 3 cinnamon sticks
  • Vodka: 200ml vodka, or 25ml per glass
  • Sweet: Dracula's fangs sweets (available from sweet shops), to serve, optional

Directions

  1. Tip the cherry juice, orange peel, chilli, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger into a large saucepan. Simmer for 5 mins, then turn off the heat. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or up to 2 days - the longer you leave it the more intense the flavours. If serving to young children, take the chilli out after a few hours.
  2. When you're ready to serve, pour the juice into a jug. Serve in glass bottles or glasses and pop a straw in each. If you're adding vodka, do so at this stage. Dangle a fangs sweet from each glass.
