We asked world-class mixologist Cal Byrne to share some of his favourite cocktail recipes for entertaining, and this intriguing yet effortless drink is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

It’s the time of year when we love to have people over. Whether it’s for a full-blown Christmas gathering, or just a few friends to chat over drinks, you want to serve something that feels appropriately festive. 

That’s why we asked world-class Irish mixologist and Diageo Head of Advocacy, Cal Byrne, for his expert recommendations to see you through the season. 

The 1942 Rosita is the perfect example – a twist on a classic Negroni with the addition of cacao bitters and a flourish of orange to give rich, smooth flavour, while its ruby hue is fitting for the festive season.
