1 litre/1 pint 15fl oz fresh orange juice
6 cloves

For the spiced Cognac, a week before you plan to make the cocktail, place all of the spiced Cognac ingredients into a jug and mix well. Transfer to a large bottle and seal the top. Leave to rest in a warm place (room temperature) for a week. Shake the bottle gently each day to mix the flavours.
To make the winter warmer, place the apple juice, cinnamon stick and allspice into a saucepan and place over a low heat. Warm through, but do not boil, then remove from the heat.
Place the sugar and lemon juice into a glass, add the spiced Cognac and hot apple juice and stir.
Garnish with the mixed chopped fruit and serve.
