We can’t decide on the best name for our latest cocktail!
Did You Know? – That a Vodka based Martini is also called a Kangaroo?! Neither did we until we did some investigating. It seems the name goes all the way back to the 60’s. Which is why we’re looking for an Oz name for this cocktail created for your summer entertaining menu!
Our inspiration was this beautiful Rainbow cake from @tastethelove_madewithlove at the Rose Bay Market.
We started with a reverse Martini and then decided to ‘even’ up the ingredients. Rather than Gin, we went with Vodka to let the Oz vermouth take centre stage. And of course we needed a Shrub. The Riberry was perfect for both flavour (a touch of spice) and colour.
The first 3 ingredients are equal in quantity and we finished with a flourish of Watermelon Juice with it’s delicate, and light and subtle sweetness. (This ingredient will be a Summer '17 favourite!) The result is a cocktail with style and flavour without being overwhelming. We’re sure it will be a summer favourite!
