Old Perth’s rich, sherry-sweet flavours lend themselves perfectly to mixology, whether it’s a simple, refreshing highball or a balanced short serve

ROB ROY

  • Bold and smoky with a touch of sweetness, this cocktail carries a subtle bitterness from the vermouth. Its warming, full-bodied character makes it an ideal slow sipper

  • 50ml Old Perth Original

    20ml Cocchi Torino (or any sweet vermouth)

    2dsh Angostura Bitters

  • Add all ingredients to a mixing vessel and fill with cubed ice. Stir for 15 secs, strain into a chilled glass with a Hawthorne Strainer

  • 3 Maraschino Cherries

PEACH HIBALL

  • Combining whisky and beer to create the ultimate, refreshing hiball.

  • 50ml Old Perth Amontillado

    25ml Lemon Juice

    10ml Simple Syrup

    Dash Bitters (optional)

    Top with 50-75ml (approx.) Peach flavoured beer of your choice

  • Add first 4 ingredients to a shaker, fill with cubed ice, give a quick shake, add to ice-filled highball glass, top with Peach flavoured beer

  • Peach slice/fan

Blood & sand revisited

  • 50ml Old Perth Original

    20ml White vermouth

    10ml Cointreau

    7.5ml Cherry Liqueur

  • Stir all ingredients with cubed ice and double strain into a cocktail glass.

  • Cocktail

  • Orange Twist

  • This is a modern, elegant twist on the classic Blood & Sand which is rather divisive (likely due to its ratios and muddy appearance)

Peanut butter flip

  • 50ml Old Perth Original

    30ml stout/porter beer

    10ml sugar syrup

    A heaped barspoon of peanut butter

    A whole egg

  • Shake hard with cubed ice and strain into a small beer tankard over block ice.

  • It is important to shake this drink as hard as possible to ensure the egg is emulsified.
