This warming, festive drink is not only pretty, with its star anise garnish, but will leave your house fragrant, too. Or turn it into a mocktail with our easy swaps!

Here's a delicious idea: Fill a Mason jar with June's best bounty (luscious local strawberries), mix in a couple spoonfuls of sugar and some gin, and then (the hardest part) wait a few days. Add a splash to sparkling wine or tonic, and you'll have the perfect elixir for warm nights on the back deck.

Nothing says Christmas like that first sip of eggnog. Start a new tradition by making this festive favourite right in your own kitchen.

Indulge in this refreshing holiday sip created for Chatelaine by Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat of Bite Me More.
