Bloody Marianne – A DeconDrinks Original

Ah, the Bloody Mary, a staple in any hotel bar. Simple in its most basic form but notoriously difficult to get right. We were out for drinks one night with one of our collaborators, R from GiftYard, when the topic came up and he suggested that DeconDrinks come up with our own version of the Bloody Mary.

R was a pretty tough customer. He didn’t like the pasty and gritty mouthfeel of canned tomato puree and didn’t fancy the texture of freshly blended tomatoes.

So we drew on our past experience. About two years ago, we were fascinated with tomatoes and one of the flavour combinations we came up with was lychees and tomatoes. Building on that idea and knowing R’s palate, we came up with the following:

Father’s Day Giftboxes

We were approached by B to create a prepackaged cocktail as part of a Father’s Day Giftbox and we were very excited to start experimenting.  After some brainstorming, we created two cocktails with uniquely Singaporean ingredients for them to sample. Our first was our Milk Punch Cocktail that you might have seen earlier. The second was an Old Fashioned style cocktail that we named the De Luze OF. It’s made with De Luze Cognac so you can already tell we are very creative people 😉

We recently did a showcase and tasting session for them to try the suggested product. Check it out here. A HUGE shout out to B for creating this video!
