Cocktail Recipe: Marble Queen

In Cocktails By

For a refreshing cocktail, we bring you the Marble Queen! This is a blanco tequila based cocktail so we just had to use the award winning VIVIR Tequila Blanco. This cocktail beautifully blends cream of coconut and tequila with the presence of fresh lime juice. The lime juice helps to balance out the sweetness of the cream of coconut whilst giving a citrus kick.

For us, the Marble Queen has a difficulty rating of 4/10. Despite only having three ingredients, we made our own cream of coconut which added an additional few steps to the process. We used Steve the Bartenders recipe, which is really cost effective if you’re making plenty of coconut cocktails!

Cocktail Recipe: The Whiskey Sour

In Cocktails By

We’re bringing you a classic cocktail – The Whiskey Sour, featuring Teeling Small Batch Whiskey! Despite it having the word ‘sour’ in the name, the simple syrup balances the cocktail nicely and prevents it from being too tart. Although The Whiskey Sour has been around for a while, it was first written down in The Bartenders Guide (1862) by Jerry Thomas. It also serves as a base for many of the other sour cocktails.

The Whiskey Sour’s difficulty rating was 6/10 as there’s quite a few steps to do. For example, there is an initial dry shaker (shake without ice) to get the correct egg white texture. However, the remainder of the recipe is fairly straightforward.

Cocktail Recipe: The Teeling Tipperary

In Cocktails By

Our first cocktail we made with Teeling Whiskey is The Teeling Tipperary. Allegedly, The Tipperary cocktail was first featured in the 1917 book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks, written by Hugo R. Ensslin. It’s said that the guest who asked for a drink was humming ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary’, which was the song for homesick Irish soldiers in WW1. Therefore, it’s only suiting that this cocktail features Irish whiskey. The Teeling Tipperary is a rich and slightly sweet cocktail, with the green chartreuse bringing some herbal notes.

The Teeling Tipperary’s difficulty rating was 2/10. The process is very simple and the recipe only includes three ingredients.

Cocktail Recipe: Alabama Slammer

In Cocktails By

Since summer is in full swing, what better cocktail to share than the Alabama Slammer. The origin of the drink is debated, however most believe it was created at The University of Alabama in 1975. Often served as a shot, we decided to recreate the highball version, allowing for a more pleasurable tasting experience. All of the components harmonise perfectly together to create a creamy, nutty and fruity cocktail.

The Alabama Slammer scores a difficulty of 3/10. It requires basic skills to assemble and the components are readily available – you may even have them already!

Cocktail Recipe: Rosa’s Gold Rush

In Cocktails By

Another great cocktail created by Código 1530 is Rosa’s Gold Rush. The ‘Rosa’ in the name pays homage to the tequila used in this cocktail, Código 1530 Rosa. The sharpness of the tequila and lemon juice is balanced out nicely by the sweetness of the fresh tangerine juice and simple syrup. It makes for a pleasant and sweet taste.

 The Rosa’s Gold Rush scores a difficulty of 4/10. The core ingredients are easy to get hold of, however I decided to add edible gold glitter to elevate the drink, which may be more difficult to acquire.
