Mother’s Day is a day of ‘Thanks’.
Whether you celebrate with your mother, birth, adopted, step or any other ‘relation variation’, it should be a day of reflection and thought for all the women who have helped to shape your life. (And it also includes, aunts, sisters, neighbours and favourite teachers!) No matter what your personal story, the day is well worth the time to think and reflect.)
In honour of the day I wanted to create a ‘girlie’ cocktail, pretty and pink and totally unique in flavour. After a bit of practice, The Galah was born. Not to be taken lightly, its blush belies its taste which is both sweet and nutty. This rose coloured beauty is a delicious culinary fusion, and ‘spiritually’ Australian. The Italian background of Vermouth + our indigenous flavoured Shrub & local Gin + the French floral liqueur + the tropical coconut water makes for a very special drink 🍸😋!
It’s an ideal cocktail for an afternoon of sipping, laughing and relishing good company, family or otherwise.

Why Galah?
The name seems appropriate as the bird is 
a native Australian who should not be underestimated. They’re pretty, pink and love extended family get togethers. (Plus they're distinctive, colourful, adaptable and nobody's fool!)
I’ll drink to that 🍸!
