Lady in Pink

This Lady in Pink does take a little more work than your average homemade cocktail. They say that the finest apples are at the top of the tree. Similarly, to make the finest Pink Lady Apple schnapps cocktail, though you don’t have to pick the apples yourself (because we’ve done that part) you have to put in a bit of extra effort. It’s worth it.

Ingredients:
30ml Pink Lady Apple Schnapps
30ml Rubus Patch Gin
30ml Rhubarb and Rose Syrup*
One egg white
Dusting of cinnamon

Pro Tip: For a vegan friendly alternative to egg white, use Wonderfoam Cocktail Foamer. Purchase online from Only Bitters here.

Method:
Add Pink Lady Apple Schnapps, Rubus Patch Gin, one egg white, and Rhubarb Syrup to an ice-filled cocktail shaker (see instructions below for making Rhubarb and Rose Syrup).

Once shaken, strain contents into a martini glass and dust with cinnamon. Drink to your heart’s content.

*Ingredients for Rhubarb and Rose Syrup:
• 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1-2 tbsp dried rose petals (or 1-2 tbsp rose water)
• 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions:

Let the syrup cool, then transfer it to a bottle or jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the liquid thickens.

Add the rose petals (or rose water) and lemon juice. Stir well and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids.

tonic
lemon
raspberries

Bellini

If you’re a fan of our peach nectar schnapps you’re probably familiar with our twist on the perfect bellini cocktail. It’s a two-step, wildbrumby classic. The name ‘Bellini’ feels like an obvious choice for a heavenly cocktail.

In recent years the peach nectar or puree has been swapped out for quality peach schnapps. And whilst the Bellini has lost its notable pink hue, it has only improved in taste!

Hot tip: Swap out Peach Schnapps for Pink Lady Apple schnapps and garnish with an apple slice.

Ingredients:
20mL wildbrumby peach schnapps (or pink lady apple schnapps)
130mL of wildbrumby Brut
One peach (preferably a white peach)

Method:
Take a fresh peach and slice out a thin wedge, keeping the skin on. Garnish your chilled champagne flute with the peach slice then add wildbrumby Peach Schnapps. Angle the champagne flute on a 45-degree angle and slowly fill the glass with wildbrumby Brut.

Make sure to keep the lip of your wildbrumby Brut bottle close to the champagne flute and straighten the glass as it fills. This will help control bubbles and the brut and schnapps will mix evenly. Ta da! Your bubbly peach treat is ready to be served.
