Christmas brings a season of warmth, celebration, and cherished moments with loved ones. Among the most beloved traditions is the comforting aroma of mulled drinks, rich with festive spice, full of seasonal flavour, and perfect for creating a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're hosting a small gathering or preparing for a larger event, Holy Lama Spice Drops offer a convenient and sophisticated way to craft mulled cocktails with consistent, award-winning taste.
Let’s explore how to use Holy Lama’s Clove, Nutmeg, Orange Zest, and Mulling Spices Spice Drops to effortlessly enhance your holiday drinks, complete with a quick mulled wine recipe that’s sure to amaze guests.
Flavour Made Simple with Holy Lama Spice Drops
The Holy Lama Spice Drops Christmas Collection includes vials of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Orange Zest, and Mulling Spices, each designed to bring authentic flavour to your drinks with remarkable ease. These concentrated extracts are expertly crafted from fresh spices, fruits, herbs and will blend instantly into beverages. Unlike ground spices, they do not leave residue, cloudiness, or unwanted texture, allowing precise control over taste.
With a shelf life of up to three years from the date of manufacture and a thoughtful, allergen-conscious formulation: vegan, alcohol-free, nut-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free, these drops are a reliable and inclusive choice for any holiday host. For larger events, Holy Lama also offers bulk sizes, ensuring every glass served maintains the same consistent quality.
Holy Lama Mulling Spices Spice Drops
A true Christmas essential, the Mulling Spices Spice Drops were awarded 2 stars at the 2015 Great Taste Awards. This carefully balanced blend of orange, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, fennel, and ginger creates a warm, aromatic base that turns wine, cider, or even apple juice into an instantly festive beverage.
Rather than simmering a pot of whole spices for hours, hosts can simply add a few drops directly into each glass. This not only saves time but also ensures every pour is perfectly spiced. It’s an ideal solution for both intimate gatherings and busy seasonal entertaining.
Holy Lama Cinnamon Spice Drops
Bringing a versatile and bold warmth, the Cinnamon Spice Drops are a standout ingredient for any festive drink. Also honoured with 2 gold stars at the 2015 Great Taste Awards, this extract provides the richness of cinnamon in a format that’s easy to measure and mix.
Unlike powdered cinnamon, which can settle at the bottom of a glass or dull the clarity of a drink, these drops integrate smoothly into cocktails and warm beverages. Just a few drops can add depth to festive drinks, such as the Red Rudolf Cocktail, or bring a comforting twist to fruit-based beverages.
Just a few drops can add depth to mulled cider or create a comforting twist in fruit-based drinks.
The Nutmeg Spice Drops offer a delicate, aromatic touch that brings depth and sophistication to cocktails. Emulating the fresh, slightly sweet complexity of grated nutmeg, this extract is perfect for rounding out eggnogs or for adding a gentle warmth to creamy holiday cocktails.
Its concentrated form ensures you only need a small amount for a rich, consistent flavour, ideal for those who appreciate elegance in their seasonal drinks without the hassle of grating or sieving.
Holy Lama Orange Zest Spice Drops
Bright, zesty, and refreshingly tangy, the Orange Zest Spice Drops add vibrancy to any winter drink. Recognised at the 2015 Great Taste Awards, this extract delivers the fresh flavour of orange rind without affecting the texture or volume of your liquids.
They’re a perfect match for mulled wine or cider, offering a citrus lift that cuts through richness and complements warming spices beautifully. Just a few drops can turn a classic recipe into something distinctly fresh and memorable.
Quick Mulled Wine Recipe
Create a festive favourite in just minutes using Holy Lama Spice Drops. Here’s a simple recipe ideal for seasonal gatherings:

Stir gently, garnish with an orange slice, and serve immediately.

Creative Cocktails for Every Guest
The versatility of Holy Lama Spice Drops invites experimentation and caters to diverse tastes. Here are two festive ideas:
Warm Mulled Cider Cocktail
Heat apple cider and add Mulling Spices and Nutmeg Spice Drops, then stir in a splash of dark rum for a richer, more indulgent version of a classic.
Cider Spritzer
Combine chilled cider with Orange Zest and Clove Spice Drops, then top with sparkling water. This lighter option is crisp, refreshing, and still undeniably festive.
Whether served warm or cold, these drinks offer something special for every guest, from traditionalists to adventurous cocktail lovers.
