Samuel Gelston’s Irish Whiskey has teamed up with mixologist Emily Doherty to show drinkers how to add seasonal sparkle to their gatherings with family and friends.
Mixologist Emily looked to the past to re-create a classic cocktail for today’s whiskey enthusiasts. She said: “Established in Belfast in the 1830s, Samuel Gelston’s has a really unique history which is rooted in an Irish adventurer, Harry Neill, who made his fortune in the nineteenth century Australian Gold Rush before coming back to Ireland to take over the Gelston’s Whiskey business.
"My inspiration behind my new drink was to take the classic ‘gold rush’ cocktail and put a modern twist on it. It includes ‘hot honey’ which has become very popular this year, giving the sweetness and floral notes coming from the honey with the ‘heat’ from light spice, black pepper and chilli.
