If you’re looking for a chirpy summer cocktail, look no further! It doesn’t get more cheerful than Monkey Shoulder\u2019s unique and delicious Blackbird cocktail.<\/p>\n

A sophisticated summer cocktail doesn’t mean you have to sweat over a complicated recipe; sometimes the simplest drinks are the best. \u00a0It\u2019s no secret that not all cocktails are created equally, and the Blackbird mixes rose liqueur with sherry and a dash of the world\u2019s number 1 trending Scotch as voted by the top 100 bars, to create a refreshingly simple drink, perfect for sharing.<\/p>\n

To get the most flavour out of your Monkey Shoulder, layer the whisky over the rose liqueur and sherry, which will allow the flavours to smoothly follow one another as you take a sip off the top.<\/p>\n

It may not only be the blackbird who is chirping after tasting this exciting mix of flavours, there are bound to be some chirps flying around your squad, while you all share in the tomfoolery of a bottle of Monkey and good company.<\/p>\n
