The Cheeky Nipple, created by and featuring Bouvery CV, is a rich and decadent chocolate treat! It beautifully blends the very best chocolate liqueur, Bouvery CV, with Grand Marnier and Tequila Blanco to deliver a rich chocolate-orange cocktail. Trust me when I say, it’ll be gone in no time!
This cocktail has a difficulty rating of 3/10. The process is a simple shake & strain and there are only three ingredients to combine. You don’t even need to add a garnish.
Today we bring you the Bee’s Knees! Can you tell we don’t want summer to end? Usually a very sweet and tart cocktail, we decided to shake it up a bit by using Gentleman’s Gin. This gin brings a mature, peppery and pine flavour profile, which has led it to win gold in both the World Gin Awards 2020 and the Frankfurt International Trophy 2020. It perfectly balances out the sweetness from the honey and leaves a very natural tasting cocktail.
The Bee’s Knees has a difficulty rating of 3/10. Usually, adding honey into a cocktail with ice causes the honey to harden, making it difficult to fully incorporate it. However, mixing the honey with the ingredients prior to adding ice negates this issue.
HAPPY ESPRESSO MARTINI DAY! We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this day by sharing an awesome Espresso Martini recipe using Grand Brulot. Grand Brulot is an award-winning, intensely flavoured and rich cognac, produced by blending Ecuadorian Robusta coffee beans with French VSOP Cognac. This is a perfect addition to the indulgent and creamy Espresso Martini, which will certainly wake you up with a kick!
This Espresso Martini has a difficulty rating of 3/10. This is a simple drink to make, however, preparing the espresso shot requires some extra time.
The Old Fashioned is a cocktail enjoyed by many and it’s the perfect way to dress up your favourite bourbon, without detracting from the taste. The bitterness, mixed with the sweetness of the sugar cube and fruity aromas blend well and enhance the whiskey’s flavour profile nicely. We used American Eagle 4 Year Old Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey in our Old Fashioned, which has been aged in American oak barrels. The flavours of this Tennessee Bourbon are vanilla and fudge with bitter-sweet orange and they work extremely well for this cocktail.
The Old Fashioned has a difficulty rating of 3/10, due to the simple process and recipe.
The Mint Julep is a fresh and minty cocktail, commonly associated with the Kentucky Derby but appreciated all-round. The three ingredients, whiskey, mint leaves, and simple syrup blend well to create a refreshing (and boozy) cocktail perfect for hot days. We recommend you use a whiskey that you really enjoy, as it has a big presence in this cocktail. We used Teeling Whiskey Small Batch which brings a beautiful oaky and sweetness to the drink.
The Mint Julep’s difficulty rating is 2/10 as only it requires a quick shake in the cocktail shaker. Again, the ingredients are easy to obtain and you might even have them already!
