Making this Winter Berry Bellini has become my go to celebration drink during the colder months. The beauty of using frozen berries is that they're incredibly convenient and actually retain more of their antioxidants than fresh ones, so you're getting all those wonderful health benefits while keeping things simple. What I love most is how quick it comes together, taking just twenty minutes from start to finish, which means you can whip up something elegant and impressive without any fuss. A touch of warm spices like cinnamon and cloves transforms ordinary berries into something truly festive, and the splash of sparkling wine at the end makes it feel like a proper treat. It's my favorite way to toast the season.

Instructions
- 1
In a large pan, mix the berries, sugar, spices and lemon juice. Set over a medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the heat so it doesn’t boil too rapidly, and stirring occasionally to ensure all the fruit is heated through and the sugar dissolves without burning. Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from the heat and let it cool for at least 1 hour.
