Your secret weapon is Fever-Tree Cocktail Mixers, you simply mix or shake with your favourite gin, vodka, tequila or rum and garnish to create a delicious, bar-quality cocktail for the perfect serve every time. Creating a classic Mojito, Margarita or Espresso Martini is now as easy as making a G&T! Secret Weapon is Fever-Tree.
- The freezer is your friend – Fill your freezer full of ready-to-bake pastries andbreads so you can give the impression of fresh out of the oven food, without proofing a thing.

- Clear out your fridge – Now is the time to create space and throw out those jars and bottles that have been lurking since last Christmas. Be ruthless and clear a good amount of space in the fridge to home your prepared dishes and cold beverages.
- Stock up on large sharing dishes – Dishes like lasagne, curries and casseroles always go down well. Whether you buy them in or cook them yourself in November, fill up the freezer so you have delicious meals ready to go throughout the festive season, freeing you up for more socialising.Secret Weapon is COOK.
- Upgrade your ice cubes – Save time on the night and add sliced citrus fruits, berries and foliage such as rosemary or flowers to your ice cube tray for impressive cubes, perfect for Gin and Tonics.
- Practice doesn’t always make perfect – Don’t risk the star of the show not living up to expectations and buy bone broth bases for your gravies and jus to ensure it taste perfect every time.Secret Weapon is Borough Broth.
- Use your air-fryer – We know Christmas holds many traditions we don’t like to step away from, but your air-fryer will come in extremely handy when cooking for large groups or many different components of a dish. Boil roast potatoes ahead of time and finish them off in the air fryer for the crispiest roasties on the big day. Secret Weapon is Ninja.
