PROMOTION
Calling all wannabe bartenders: here’s your chance to get making and shaking like a pro, and you don’t even have to get your hands (or your kitchen) dirty. How so we hear you cry? Just tap into the interactive website from Ballantine’s Brasil and see for yourself.
Ask Ramon to mix your drinkFirst things first though, this is no ordinary drink. It’s the result of Scotch whisky selectively cask steeped with lime peel from Brazil. We admit, it does sound like an unlikely combination in terms of locations but both countries share a passion and pride that comes together beautifully in a bottle, resulting in a fresh tasting, citrusy spirit drink that forms the base of many delicious cocktails.
You can follow the suggested recipes featured on the ‘Mix Me A Drink’ part of the site or better still, head to the interactive ‘Mix My Own’ section. Here you’ll be greeted by your very own braces and bow tie-wearing bartender – let’s call him Ramon. Take your pick from the selection of ingredients listed on the side of the page and Ramon will add your specified measure to his shaker (don’t dawdle, he gets pretty restless) and mixes your cocktail on screen.
To inspire you to put Ramon to the test, we have a Ballantine’s Brasil limited-edition cocktail kit to give away. All you have to do is go to MixitwithBrasil.com devise your recipe, give it a name and share it with friends using the hashtag #BallantinesBrasil. The ‘mixologist’ who creates the best named cocktail, that fully encompasses the fusion of Scotland and Brazil, will be the winner. Simples.
Just go to MixitwithBrasil.com and get Ramon to mix you a cocktail – with the creamy vanilla and perky citrus notes in Ballantine’s Brasil as the base, it’s guaranteed to be a hit.
Available in selected retailers in Spain, France, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Pacific Islands, Brazil, Hungary, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania and Austria, priced at €14.00 (currency dependent).
