Riberry Shrub Recipes

 The Riberry Bramble

This beautiful cocktail was created by Dave Brown of The Cotton Thief  in Cremorne, NSW, one of our favourite new small bars.

We love this combo of mixed berries, our Riberry Shrub and a fabulous new artisan gin, Botanic Australis Gin. (Keep an eye out for this new gin at your local bottle shop, it’s delicious.)

Ingredients:

• 20ml Currong Comestibles Riberry Shrub
• 4-5 frozen mixed berries
• 45ml Botanic Australis Gin
• Dash of sugar syrup* (optional)

Preparation:

Muddle berries and Riberry Shrub in a cocktail shaker.
Add the Gin (and sugar syrup*)
Shake over ice and strain into a ‘rocks’ glass.
Fill with crushed ice.

(*to make sugar syrup dissolve 1 part white sugar with 1 part boiling water)

The Ribertini

Riberry Shrub + Vodka + a splash of Vermouth = The Perfect Cocktail

The CC Riberry Sundae

It’s super easy, fast and guaranteed to please. 

Just scoop vanilla ice cream into your dish and top with a good ‘slurp’ of Currong Comestibles’ Riberry Shrub. 

(Our ice cream was Weight Watchers Creamy Vanilla but everyone has their own favourite vanilla.)

Sit back, enjoy and try not to think about the heat.

Chillax!

 Mulled Riberry Wine

 X Cocktail

Our friends up north, at Ettalong Beach on the central coast, have also been enjoying this great weather and Peter Clarke of Bar TOTO has been busy creating  the ‘X’.  Our ‘X’ combines a Queensland artisan whiskey, Spanish sherry and our Riberry Shrub.  We think it gives this cocktail a nice ‘warm weather’ heritage. The perfect ‘sippable’ combination as you watch the sunset on a beautiful Autumn day.  (Which is very easy to do at Bar TOTO.)  

‘X’?

Ingredients:

• 60 ml          Mt. Uncle BBC Single Malt Whiskey
• 20 ml          Currong Comestibles Riberry Shrub
• 15 ml          Pedro Ximenez Sherry
• 3 dashes    Angostura bitters

1. Stir all ingredients with ice
2. Garnish with a lemon twist

Sit back and enjoy.

 

OOPS & HELP!  We need a name for this new cocktail. We thought it was a Juniper Fizz but Peter has advised that while he created and photographed this cocktail he hasn’t given it a name. 

Can you help us? 

You’ll share bragging rights with Peter on our website, Facebook and Twitter!  Please send us your suggestions via info@currong.com.au

 The Sydney Sunset

Created with Bundaberg Spiced Rum it has a touch of vanilla and a flavour that’s complimented by the Riberry Shrub’s natural hint of spice.

• 60g            Bundaberg Spiced Rum
• 30g            Currong Comestibles Riberry Shrub
• Ice Cubes

  The Inner West Side

 

Introducing the INNER WEST SIDE, the newest Riberry Shrub cocktail in Sydney!

Created by the bar maestros at the Newtown Hotel in Sydney’s inner west suburbs (hence the name), it’s now available to savour and enjoy at the hotel’s ‘animal’ restaurant.  http://newtownhotel.com.au

It’s so new to the menu that it’s not on the hotel’s website yet.  We don’t have the recipe but we can share that the ingredients are:

• Tanqueray Gin
• Lime
• Riberry Shrub
• Mint (fresh)

 The combination is light, refreshing and a touch ‘old school’ cocktail.

Ideal for the holidays (and any other time)!
