French style brandy, Bardinet, is celebrating the latest addition to its range – Bardinet Inspirations – with a new series of cocktails.

Bardinet’s award-winning mixologist Adrian Gomes has used the new expression to create three ‘dessert cocktails’, based on the celebrated Tarte Tatin, Crêpes Suzette and Mousse Au Chocolat recipes.

A dessert and digestif all in one, they’re a fun, creative ‘sweet treat’ for any festive gathering.

Made from carefully selected grapes, Bardinet Inspirations is aged in oak barrels giving this new brandy a smooth
rich flavour profile. Featuring a stylish new bottle and modern design, the brandy’s, fruity, vanilla notes add depth of character that’s perfect for cocktails and long drinks.

Adrian explains: ‘These three serves are really easy to make at home, they taste amazing and they can be recreated with just a few extra ingredients. Forget puddings on a plate, this is a great way to delight your guests with a surprising after-dinner treat that delivers on sweetness and flavour! ‘We really hope that our campaign
inspires drinkers to be bold with their drinks at home and explore how brilliant
and versatile Bardinet is for experimenting with cocktails over Christmas.’’
