"In the park right next to our hotel there was a little Christmas market with stalls selling nuts and pretzels and poncha and ginja. Now the poncha was new to me but basically its a citrus based drink with loads and loads of white spirit. The citrus is muddled (yes we bought a poncha muddler home) and then mixed with the white rum and poured into cups which we drank like lemonade. After a few it was clear that the Christmas spirit was alive and well".
