It’s a dessert and a digestif in one.

When it comes to Christmas Day desserts, Aussies are blessed with a plethora of options. Whether you’re a trifle, pav or pudding fan, there’s a fairly good chance your family’s festive lunch runs the gamut.

But what if you’re too full for dessert this year? Or perhaps (quelle horreur!) you’re not a dessert person at all?

Fear not my treat-averse friend, for the brains at Never Never Distillery have squeezed a traditional Christmas dessert into a very pretty bottle, for a limited time only!

The new Never Never Panettone Negroni Bottled Cocktail aims to recreate the smell of Nonna’s kitchen on Christmas Day. This festive red beverage tastes like a spice-laden buttered fruit toast, and incorporates Never Never’s Triple Juniper Gin, Campari and Regal Rogue Vermouth, blended with muscat, orange curaçao and a hint of vanilla bean. You’ll want to enjoy this one straight from the freezer, garnished with a juicy orange wedge.

If panettone isn’t your bag, Never Never fear, there’s also an Oyster Shell Gimlet⁠ Bottled Cocktail to whet your whistle.

The refreshing drop has been inspired by lemonade icy poles on a hot summer’s day, incorporating Never Never’s Oyster Shell Gin, house-made split lime leaf syrup and Barossa Apera. Its fresh and zesty citrus kick pairs perfectly with a seafood lunch. Pour yours into a chic coupe glass for a traditional gimlet, or add soda for a refreshing highball.

Convenience is bliss.

Never Never’s Panettone Negroni and Oyster Shell Gimlet bottled cocktails are available from neverneverdistilling.com.au for $70 each, or $130 for the pair.
