Something we’ve been hearing a lot is how smooth and ‘sip-abble’ Barti Spiced is thanks to the umami seaweed undertones which mellow out that heat you might get with other spirits.
However, we believe there’s always a time and a place for a good mixer. There are probably even more times, and even more plentiful places for a good cocktail too. Here are some ideas.
Place the top 5 ingredients into a cocktail shaker (I can never find mine so it is always in a glass jar with a lid), shake and pour over ice and top with ginger beer and garnish. Ok so there is some leg work in making the apple butter, but it is so worth it! You can find a separate recipe for this here below.
I'd recommend having dark brown sugar on the rim of the glass.
Sit back on a cosy sofa next to a blazing log fire and let Autumn flow into your soul X
OK this is a new one to me, I thought it was just apple mixed with butter which you could pop in your apple butter rum cocktail. Hey anything with butter in it is a winner in my eyes.
But no it isn’t, in fact there is no butter in the recipe at all?
Basically it is pimped up apple sauce, next level. You need this in your life and then you can actually live off it until Christmas :).
Method:
Place all the ingredients into a thick bottom pan and allow to cook slowly for around 30 mins or until all the apple pieces are easily mixed into a sauce. Place the mix into a food processor and return to heat for another 20 mins, allow to cool and place in jar in fridge and make breakfast, cocktails and dinners with it.

If you’re feeling extra royal, rim the glass with golden sugar.
A take on the modern classic “Espresso Martini” apparently invented by Dick Bradsell (A legend in the cocktail world) in the 1980s. The story goes is that he was working in the Brasserie in Soho, London when a young lady came in and asked for something that would, “Wake me up, and then f*** me up”.
This cocktail is designed to make you “Pistol Proof”, which was one of Barti Ddu's many nicknames.
