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.
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.
