Especially for Mother’s Day, R&B Distillers have teamed up with the drinks connoisseurs at Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings to concoct a delightful Spring cocktail using R&B’s new Borders whisky.
Whisky is too frequently shrouded in tartan and the assumption that it is a man’s drink to be sipped by the fireside of antiquated gentlemen’s clubs. 2016 is the year for whisky to shed the baggage of tradition; R&B’s Borders Single Grain whisky is dry and complex but with a lightness that works well in a cocktails. Thus, B&H’s sweet and fruity ‘Ma-jito’ (£9.50) is set to convert even the most sceptical whisky drinker and who better than your own mother to test it out on!

40ml Borders
15ml Lemon Juice
15ml Creme de Peche
