As the days get colder, there’s something undeniably appealing about inviting friends over, lighting a few candles and serving cocktails without spending the evening behind the bar. And we guarantee your guests will be impressed when you serve them up this.
Available nationwide now, Jamaretto Sour is the newest addition to the premium ready made cocktail range, bringing together the nostalgic flavours of an Amaretto Sour and a Whisky Sour with a modern, fruit driven twist. And if you’ve ever added a bit of Amaretto to your mulled wine, you’ll know just how good these flavours can be.
Sweet yet refreshing, the cocktail layered with notes of strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate, lifted by bright citrus and finished with a balanced sour edge. Simply shake the bottle, pour over ice and garnish with a slice of orange or a few fresh raspberries for an easy serve that feels a little more special.
“We’re seeing classic cocktails return to the spotlight through culture and conversation, but with a modern twist,” says Jenna Lee, Head of Marketing at BATCHED Premium Cocktails. “The Jamaretto Sour is our take on that shift – familiar in structure but layered with bold, fruit-forward flavours that feel new, indulgent and unmistakably BATCHED.”
For a simple winter entertaining idea, try serving the Jamaretto Sour alongside a cheeseboard filled with aged cheddar, creamy brie and blue cheese, plus toasted walnuts, dark chocolate and fresh berries. The cocktail’s fruity sweetness and citrus notes pair beautifully with rich cheeses while making an easy centrepiece for a relaxed evening with friends.
Presented in BATCHED’s signature 725ml bottle, the Jamaretto Sour is designed to deliver a bar quality cocktail without the need for specialist equipment or a long list of ingredients. It taps into the growing popularity of premium cocktails enjoyed at home, where convenience and quality go hand in hand.
To celebrate the launch, BATCHED is also giving customers the chance to win an unforgettable winter night out. Anyone who purchases a bottle of Jamaretto Sour can enter the draw to win two tickets to the BATCHED Charity Ball, along with a two night stay in the Grand Suite at the Grand Millennium Auckland.
