For our final seasonal sharing blog, we’ve enlisted the help of cocktail connoisseurs Tayport Distillery to show us how to impress your guests this Christmas with a refreshing festive tipple.
Whether you’re looking to try your hand at a classy perfect serve or test your skills with a show-stopper, below we have two exclusive cocktail recipes recommended by Tayport for their 1992 blackcurrant Eau de Vie liqueur.
Kir Royale
Tayport Distillery’s 1992 is a blackcurrant Eau de Vie cassis flavoured with Scottish fruit - intensely rich and refined, it’s a perfect complement to anything light and bubbly - so ideal for a classic Kir Royale.
To make this simple and delicious welcome drink, add a 25ml measure of 1992 to a chilled Champagne flute and top with prosecco. It’s a classic twist on a Christmas favourite, and easy to prepare for lots of guests at once.
