So here we are, Freedom Week at last...giving bars, restaurants, cafés and clubs the chance to welcome people back through their doors in some manner of normality. That and glorious sunshine, there’s definitely all the summer vibes going down at Domino HQ!
Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to so far this month…
*New client alert* The delightfully nutty Sheep Dog Peanut Butter; an amazing peanut butter laced whiskey liqueur, which has already proven to be a huge hit in the US, and we have no doubt will be lapped up over here! Check out their website for a bit of inspiration for the best way to drink it, whether you like an Old Fashioned, Hard Shake, Espresso Martini or a straight-up chilled Sheep Dog sipper, we know you’ll love it as much as we do. Click here to get your paws on some.
We are also working with Sazerac de Forge ‘Finest Original’ Cognac. Taking a step back into the history of cognac, Sazerac de Forge, is “rich and floral” with a distinct texture that is creamy and leaves “exotic spice on the palate, with a long, soft finish and a hint of natural sweetness”. It sounds idyllic to us.
Head to Master of Malt to purchase a bottle, then visit the website to try your hand at making ‘The Sazerac Cocktail’ and get to understand the aroma, flavour and finish that has been created.
Pride Month may have drawn to a close, but, as Crystal Head Vodka said, “it’s important that we celebrate and spread the message of love all year!”, and we couldn’t agree more. This is exactly why Crystal Head is continuing to sell their Pride 700ml and Magnum bottles for the foreseeable future, with a contribution from each bottle sold going to UK LGBT+ human rights charity Kaleidoscope Trust.
If you want to find out more about Crystal Head alongside some epic, insightful listening, make sure you tune into co-founder Dan Akroyd talking about his ultimate last supper on the Off Menu podcast, available either on Apple Podcasts , Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As it feels like Bondi Beach in London at the moment, why not reach for one of Australia’s finest exports, Regal Rogue vermouth, the closest we’ll be getting there let’s be honest? The Regal Rogue Australiano is a fun, new twist on the classic Americano cocktail, flipping it ‘upside down’ with a twist on ingredients. A delicious accompaniment to brunch, lunch or pre-dinner sipper, choose from their four variants, each featuring a different Rogue, and start enjoying the sweet taste of freedom, cheers to that.
Here’s the recipe for the Wild Australiano for you to try, G’Day Summer!
Ingredients:
37.5ml Regal Rogue Wild Rosé
12.5ml Aperol
100ml Fever-Tree White Grape & Apricot Soda
Sprig of Mint
Lemon Slice
Fill a tall glass with ice, add the Regal Rogue and Aperol, then top with the Fever-Tree White Grape and Apricot Soda. Stir with a bar spoon and garnish with lemon & mint.
See how ours turned out here.
And get your hands on whichever Rogue takes your fancy at Master of Malt.
