episode 99: How to Get People to Drink Australian Whisky with Pete Garraway, Starward
Our guest today always loved the stories, that’s why he went in for a degree in history. Now Pete Garraway, Brand Ambassador of STARWARD whisky, spends his days telling one particular story - of why one should be drinking Australian whisky. It’s not hard to convince them once they have had a sip of STARWARD, the award winning whisky born and bred in Australia. He joins us today to tell us his story, having just returned from Singapore a place that brought back all sorts of memories for him.
Our Cocktail of the Week is the Mac’s Sly Grog - This drink comes from their “5 Boroughs of Melbourne” cocktail menu. A little history lesson of Melbourne in this one - it’s a Cherry Ripe riff on the Manhattan inspired by the borough of Fitzroy and its bygone days when gangsters slung under the table grog and the MacRoberston’s chocolate factory dealt out their sweet goods from Kerr Street.
Ingredients:
- 40ml STARWARD Wine Cask
- 15ml Belsazar Red Vermouth
- 10ml Jack Rudy Cherry
- 5ml Mr Black’s Coffee Amaro
- 2 dashes cacao & macadamia bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura
Method:
Stir down over cubed ice in a mixing glass. Strain. Spritz an orange zest and then discard. Garnish with a cherry.
