Technically, it’s not drinking alone if the bartender is there!
You know the drill…it’s Friday afternoon and time to relax after a long and stressful work week.
What better way to chill out than with a cocktail at your favourite bar or restaurant. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
Welcome to our Cocktail of the Week series, where each Friday we will highlight a cheeky creation to tantalise tastebuds and set the tone for good times.
Australian Distilling Co. is an Australian craft gin and spirit maker on a mission to capture the flavour and soul of Australia in every sip. The spirits are small batch and utilise some of Australia’s most interesting botanicals including Kangaroo Island lavender and finger lime.
Just in time for Christmas, the floral and sweet Rhapsody Ruby Gin (RRP $89) makes for the perfect gift - a delicious gin that achieves a delicate balance between florals and berries through the infusion of T BARs’ Serendipi-T fruit tea blend with classic dry gin.
As well as imparting flavour, the blend leaves the spirit stained with a sense-heightening berry colour. From the eye-catching packaging to the unique flavours, Rhapsody Ruby Gin is sure to be a Christmas hit this year.
"Here at Australian Distilling Co. we are passionate about what makes our country so unique and we honour this through the spirit and stories that are celebrated in the flavours of a bottle of gin,” says Michael Hickinbotham, company founder.
"The holiday season is the perfect time to connect with loved ones, sharing stories over a cocktail or two and reflecting on cherished memories, while toasting to the year ahead.”
Try this ruby gin cocktail with fresh raspberries, fresh lime juice and ginger beer to get festive celebrations started in style - garnish with a lime wheel, rosemary sprig and raspberry for the ultimate stylish drink.
If the Rhapsody gin isn’t the right fit, the signature City Range - which features a unique gin that is personalised for major cities around Australia, such as Melbourne Gin (RRP $79), Bondi Gin (RRP $79) and Gold Coast Gin (RRP $79) - has something for everyone and adds a subtle personalised touch to any Christmas gift.
