Story
Perhaps you've heard of Maybe Sammy, the world-beating, prize-winning, glamour-filled cocktail bar in The Rocks in Sydney? If not, allow us to introduce you to but one of their libations. Yes, whilst the clever chaps behind this wonderful bar are most at home shaking or stirring up something magical for the few guests who grace their seats each night, they also recognise that there are hundreds more who cannot make it....but are still keen on a good drink. Enter their bottled cocktails - the exact same drinks, handmade and batched locally in Sydney, Australia using the highest quality ingredients - in your home.
The bar itself takes inspiration from the roaring Fifties, the rebirth of cool, the era where fashion and fun prevailed. A time when The Rat Pack and Hollywood glamour were revered and admired. The bartenders are in crisp white jackets, the guests are dressed to the nines and the drinks? Well, if we told you that the bar has been named as Australia's best by numerous publications and critics, that should give you some idea. Fancy living like Sammy? Be the high roller that you are. You've earned it!
There is zero standing still at Maybe Sammy, which means you end up with some seriously inventive drinks. This take on a traditional gimlet is a blend of Patron Silver, mango, Eucalyptus and grapefruit bitters in a combo that shouldn't work, but really does. It's a distinctively aromatic cocktail with that big Eucalyptus punch, yet just when you expect it to be too much, the gloriously citrussy palate kicks in with a crisp and refreshing punch.

PAIRING GUIDE
Best served in a martini glass with plenty of ice, the interesting pair is to actually introduce a little dry sparkling wine in the mix - a dash of Aussie Prosecco would just make this even more drinkable. Otherwise, it's an excellent aperitif, and then works wonderfully with cheese in all its variations - cheesy pasta, grilled over sandwiches, crafted into a ridiculously hard-to-perfect soufflé, or just added fresh to your favourite salad.
