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.

1942 Rosita

To make: 

30ml Don Julio 1942 Tequila

20ml Valentia Island Ór vermouth 

20ml Campari 

2 dashes of chocolate bitters 

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass full of ice, stir to combine, pour into whiskey glass with ice, and garnish with orange dark chocolate.

Stay tuned for our ongoing series in partnership with Diageo – Cocktail Club – for much more of Cal and his top-tier recipes and fashion inspiration to come. Visit diageo.com to learn more about their premium brands.
