The season’s most stylish cocktail
This Christmas, indulge yourself with the most stylish cocktail of the festive season – the Disaronno Amaretto Style Star Cocktail, created exclusively by top international cocktail innovator and mixologist, Douglas Ankrah - a man well versed in the art of delicious drinks. The Disaronno Amaretto Style Star has been created to celebrate the forthcoming Disaronno Amaretto Style Panel, an elite team of some of the UK’s most respected fashion and style movers and shakers, who have come together to provide their unique insights into what’s going to be hot, and what’s not, in 2008.
Disaronno Amaretto has always been synonymous with style and is a favourite with the fashion pack, being served at fashion week parties and events for designers including Frost French, Julien MacDonald and milliner Stephen Jones.
Now you can enjoy cocktails like the stars – but the appeal of the Disaronno Amaretto Style Star is its simplicity. All the ingredients can be sourced easily and you don’t have to be the world’s best mixologist to perfect how to make it. The cloudy apple and pomegranate juices contain anti oxidants, and allow the flavour and aromas of Disaronno to come alive.
Disaronno Amaretto is a classic Italian liqueur, flavoured with herbs and fruits soaked in apricot kernel oil – providing the perfect, authentic taste of Christmas for the festive season. The new Disaronno Amaretto Style Star has a delicious and distinctive taste, and is suitable for all sorts of occasions, from partying with pals to enjoying an indulgent night at home with a partner.
Douglas Ankrah, the Disaronno Amaretto Style Star creator said, “This cocktail is debonair, classic. Disaronno Amaretto is the king of all liqueurs. Every home and bar should have a bottle.”
