Six Roe & Co
Irish whiskey cocktails and long drink
summer serves.
Here is one for professional
bartenders or even the adventurous home
bartenders amongst you who like to try a
bit of mixology to impress your guests
or just to pour yourself a refreshing
cocktail or long drink. With the warmer weather fast
approaching (I hope, but there is no
guarantee in Scotland) Diageo Reserve’s
premium Irish Whiskey, Roe & Co has
developed a new range of perfect summer
serves which should be very welcome over
the summer months and demonstrate the
versatility of the Irish spirit.
The selection of Roe & Co signature
serves range from simple long drinks
through to complex and flavour-rich
short drinks and cocktails. The menu was
collaboratively developed by European
Brand Ambassador, Peter O’Connor, Diageo
Reserve GB Whisky Ambassador, Ali
Reynolds and some of the Irish
bartenders who helped to develop the
blend, including Kenneth Herilihy and
Anna Walsh. Crafted to highlight and
showcase Irish whiskey, the drinks also
celebrate the fresh flavour of summer
with light mixers and ingredients to
perfectly complement the blend.
Since its launch just last year, Roe &
Co, a whiskey made by bartenders
alongside Master Blender, Caroline
Martin, has been widely embraced by UK
and Irish bartenders.
O’Connor comments: "Summer is such an
inspiring time for bartenders, as
consumers relish the opportunity to get
out and enjoy the warmer weather, meet
with friends and family and enjoy
quality, memorable experiences in the
on-trade.
"The new summer drinks from Roe & Co
have been specifically chosen to work
across lots of different types of pubs
and bars. Irish whiskey is gaining
significant traction with bartenders and
consumers alike and our new seasonal
serve strategy challenges traditional
summer drinks and we hope, will open
people’s minds up to Irish whiskey
year-round."
