Crazy Bull
The Crazy Bull is everything in a glass. It’s our Spanish cocktail that is rich in colour, texture, sweet, sour and punchy!
The Crazy Bull is named for Miguel Maestre, Australia’s ball of fire in the shape of a chef. His excitement is contagious and so is his drink. He is a favourite with mums because his recipes are doable and he reminds us of our sons.
The Crazy Bull is layered in red and yellow to resemble the Spanish flag. And includes that popular vanilla liqueur from Spain, Licor 43.
Recipients: Guests who love fun drinks and those who like to drink with their eyes, first.
Type: Made in the glass
Read MoreMarionetto
Marionetto is named for Marion Grasby. When we sent this recipe to Marion her response was, “I love this!” To which our response was, “OMG. I can’t believe it. She likes our recipe!”
We’re big fans of Marion’s joyous enthusiasm for sharing tastes that range from comforting to invigorating. We love her welcoming, easy communication style, too. And now, Marion is a brand new mum to baby girl, Charlie. We’re so excited for her we need to celebrate!
Caused by my own disinclination to make it properly, this is our preferred version of an Amaretto Sour, which features a frothy head. Traditionally, the foamy top is formed by egg white. Being lazy, I don’t want to separate eggs each time I serve this. Being finicky, I don’t like the idea of drinking raw egg white. Pineapple juice gives us the froth we need.
Liquid ingredients in Amaretto Sour recipes vary. They can be any combination of amaretto with or without bourbon plus sour mix, sugar syrup and/or lemon juice. However, the Amaretto Sour recipe we first tried was our Instagram friend’s cocktail_curiosity and we thank him for the inspiration.
We reckon we’ve simplified the recipe without losing the heady incense of fruit and almond. Because we’ve added one ingredient and removed two or three ingredients, we feel Marionetto is a new fluffy, recipe to serve to your favourite friends.
Recipients: Lovers of aroma and cherry Starburst.
Type: Shaken
Read MoreOld Codger
This is our unsophisticated, easier drinking version of the popular, classic, finicky drink, Old Fashioned. It is so easy drinking you can use lower shelf all the way to underground bourbon.
Admittedly, this is not a beautiful looking drink. But it tastes great, drink after drink, even to people who don’t ordinarily drink bourbon, like us.
Recipients: People who need bourbon conversion that can handle their alcohol
