Mistelle is the aperitif on everyone’s lips this season
A French-inspired, Aussie-crafted aperitif in a stylish bottle, Rhubi Mistelle Rhubarb Liqueur will make a bright addition to your festive drink collection. What is mistelle? Usually made in France using apples, pears or grapes, mistelle is an aperitif created from fermented fruit juice and a spirit distilled from the same fruit. This one is made in Victoria from Aussie-grown rhubarb using a process that brings together fermented rhubarb juice, juniper spirit and botanicals including gentian, grapefruit and mandarin skins. It’s also lower in alcohol with 18% ABV. It’s as innovative as you’d expect from co-founders and cocktail experts Evan Stroeve and Tim Philips-Johansson, who dreamed up the drink when they worked together at the world-famous Bulletin Place bar in Sydney.
Want to keep your rhubarb cocktail even more simple? Try adding a splash of Rhubi to a glass of sparkling wine or prosecco, or add premium soda water and a citrus wedge and enjoy the party.
Easy ingredients for great-tasting spritzes
Perfecting the art of the French aperitif hour is easy with Dolin Dry Vermouth. Made in Chambéry in south-eastern France using natural ingredients and quality local wine, it has an appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) label. With citrus and almond aromas and delicate bitterness, it’s ideal on its own or in cocktails.
Need a pink sparkling for entertaining? Pop a bottle of Wildly Organic Sparkling Rosé from South Australia. It’s a well balanced drop with hints of passionfruit, pomegranate and strawberries.
