Cocktail Menu: Three winning whisky cocktails

Three unique Nikka whisky cocktails created by 2023 Nikka Perfect Serve Australia winner Reuben Beasley-Palmer to complement his favourite Nikka expressions.

“My serving of The Other Half was a pairing of a dram of Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky and a tasty soda that I created. The mixer, named Super Mandarin Soda, was a mix of a mandarin sherbet, cold pressed mandarin juice and soda, adding all of this to a bottle to pre-carbonate it and garnished with a wasabi leaf”, said Reuben.

“I found this was a magical pairing of the mellow peat, slight maritime and bold flavour of Nikka Yoichi Single Malt, with the bright zingy pop of the Super Mandarin Soda.”
