The Weekly Cocktail Recipe – Cocktail Trading Company’s ‘Spicy Red Head’

Bringing the first legal distillery to Raasay in the Inner Hebrides, R&B Distillers (standing for Raasay and Borders, two unique landscapes brought together by one whiskey company) have recently launched two brand new whiskeys in time for 2016. The first, ‘While We Wait’, is aptly named after the awaited distillery, marking a preview of the caliber and flavour of whiskey yet to come, while the second – ‘Borders’ single grain whiskey – is lighter and softer in flavour than the smoky peat dram of the aforementioned.

And as a collaboration between R&B Distillers and cocktail experts Cocktail Trading Company, this week’s recipe uses Borders, ginger beer, lime and red wine for the ‘Spicy Red Head’ – perfect for toasting the Birthday of poet and writer Robert Burns.

R&B Distillers’ new whiskeys are available to buy directly from rbdistillers.com. While We Wait is priced at £56.85 and Borders priced at £49.98.
