Limoncello Passion Spritz

40mL wildbrumby limoncello
20mL passionfruit pulp
wildbrumby brut (dry sparkling wine)
soda water

The Limoncello Passion Spritz is best enjoyed under full sun with good music on full blast! (And, hopefully, with a few friends… even if it’s just over zoom).

You can build this cocktail straight into your glass – no bar shakers and no clean-up afterward. First, add our wildbrumby limoncello and the passionfruit pulp to a large wine glass. Top with 90mL of wildbrumby brut and a splash of soda water. 

Lastly, fill your glass to the brim with ice. Want to keep your spritz flavourful till that last, golden drop? Then this is the most important step. Adding ice last ensures your spritz is evenly mixed and prevents it from diluting before it’s even served. 

Garnish your drink with a lemon wedge and a colourful paper straw for good measure!

Limoncello Meringue

60mL wildbrumby limoncello
30mL wildbrumby kosciuszko vodka
30mL fresh lemon juice
30mL aquafaba (chickpea juice)

The limoncello meringue is a sophisticated cocktail that is just bursting with lemony zest.

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake without ice for 15-20 seconds, then add ice and shake until the outside of your shaker is frosted.

Double strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Limoncello Iced Tea

60mL wildbrumby limoncello
chilled chamomile tea
honey (optional)

Lemon and chamomile tea can be comforting on a cold winter night. But have you tried it iced and boozy on a warm sunny day? Well, forget home made lemonade. This is going to be your go-to!

To make 2 servings of this liquid sunshine, you’ll need to prepare 250mL of chamomile tea. Once brewed, allow your tea to reach room temperature and then chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

All chilled? Now you’re ready to build this cocktail straight into a glass. 

Fill a highball glass with ice and place two lemon wheels down the inside of your glass to garnish. Add our wildbrumby limoncello and top with chilled chamomile tea. Serve with a paper straw.

If you’re after a little extra sweetness, add a drop of honey. 

Rubus, Limoncello & Tonic

20mL wildbrumby limoncello
30mL wildbrumby rubus patch gin
tonic
lemon
raspberries

Now what would a limoncello inspired cocktail list be without a riff on the classic Gin & Tonic? 

Our wildbrumby rubus patch gin is made using organic raspberries picked straight from our distillery gardens. Pink, pretty and a little bit tart – it makes a brilliant G&T combo with our wildbrumby limoncello. And it looks delectable too!

Firstly, pack a wide, stemless glass to the brim with lemon wheels, whole raspberries and ice. Pour our rubus patch gin and wildbrumby limoncello into your glass and top with tonic water. We suggest fever tree’s refreshingly light tonic water. 

Serve your Rubus, Limoncello & Tonic with a vibrant paper straw and an extravagant cheese platter.

Lavender Limoncello Sour

30mL wildbrumby limoncello
30mL wildbrumby classic gin
20mL lavender simple syrup
20mL lemon juice
15mL aquafaba

Springtime is all about florals and vibrant flavours. Remember those lemon drop lollies you could only get at small country markets on a Sunday morning? Well, we just put together a cocktail with that exact vibe. 

To prepare your lavender simple syrup add 1 tablespoon of lavender tea, 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of water to a small pot. Place on a low heat and stir till most of the sugar has dissolved. Once dissolved, set the pot aside to cool. Strain your sugar syrup into an airtight container. Your lavender simple syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks – But let’s be honest, it’ll be gone quicker than that!

To make your Lavender Limoncello Sour, add all your ingredients to a bar shaker with ice and shake thoroughly. You’ll know it’s ready when you see frost forming on the outside of the shaker. Strain your cocktail into a tumbler glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with half a lemon wheel and dry petals of lavender tea.

Lemon loves lavender! But if you don’t have lavender tea handy – try this cocktail with plain simple syrup. Trust us, you’ll love it just as much.

You’ve likely enjoyed a Bellini before. Maybe you swapped out a mimosa for one over brunch or enjoyed a few as a summertime aperitif.

But, do you know the history of this near century-old drink?

Sometime between 1934 and 1948, a Venetian Bar owner named Giuseppe Cipriani created the Bellini cocktail – a bubbly peach drink that would be celebrated for decades to come.

Originally, the Bellini cocktail was made with prosecco and peach puree or peach nectar. It’s a combination that creates a stunning pink hue.

The drink’s colour reminded Cipriani of a pink toga worn by a saint in one of Giovanni Bellini’s famous paintings. That same saintly pink colour was used often by the 15th Century artist to paint everything from togas of saints to garments worn by the virgin Mary.

How to perfect the Bellini:

Ingredients:
wildbrumby peach schnapps
wildbrumby brut
One peach (preferably a white peach)

Method:
We begin with the garnish. I know what you’re thinking. ‘But aren’t garnishes supposed to add a bit of decoration at the END of a cocktail?’

Well, this drink is a little different.

The Bellini cocktail is all about showcasing that fresh peach flavour and the garnish is no exception. First, take a fresh peach and slice out a thin wedge. Keeping the skin on for texture, place the peach wedge into a chilled champagne flute.

Wildbrumby Negroni
This is a deliciously warming alpine twist on the classic Italian cocktail, which has its origins in early 20th-century Italy.

You can buy negroni ready-made from our online shop or create your own by blending our award-winning classic gin with our seasonal baked apple schnapps and then adding a dash of homemade Italian bitters. This spicy winter aperitif is ready to drink on ice and best served with a slice of orange to garnish.

Ingredients: 
Baked Apple Schnapps
wildbrumby gin
Bitters
Orange slice

Method: Blend Baked Apple Schnapps with your favourite gin (to taste), add a dash of bitters, and serve in a lowball glass with ice and a slice of orange to garnish.

Alpine Vesper
Ian Fleming didn’t do us any favours when he decided James Bond would take his dry martini shaken, not stirred — given that most martinis are best when stirred, not shaken!

But if you consider the Vesper recipe we associate with Bond (3 parts gin, 1 part vodka and 1/2 part Kina Lillet) then it is understandable given that shaking a drink breaks the ice into smaller pieces, watering down his rather potent mix. Here is our own twist on this much-loved martini.

Ingredients:
30ml Classic Gin
30ml Kosciusko Vodka
30ml Apricot Schnapps

Method:
Add gin, vodka and schnapps to an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake until cold, double strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an orange twist.
