An affogato is already one of the great simple pleasures: a shot of espresso poured over vanilla ice cream. Add a measure of Rutherglen Muscat and it becomes something extraordinary. Two minutes, three ingredients, no skill required.

Rutherglen Muscat is the secret weapon in this Christmas pudding recipe. It brings a raisin and spice depth that brandy alone can’t replicate, keeps the pudding moist through the long steam and improves significantly over the weeks and months you feed it. Make it now. Thank us in December.

Inspired by the version served at Grace Bar and Eatery in Rutherglen, the Muscat Gin Sour is bright, aromatic and deeply satisfying. Gin, Rutherglen Muscat and fresh lemon juice, shaken until cold and served in a chilled coupe. Here is how to make it at home.

A Sunday afternoon project that is completely worth it. Rutherglen Muscat transforms a classic apple pie into something extraordinary, and the two-minute Muscat ice cream that goes alongside it might be the best thing we have ever made.

The Muscat Old Fashioned is one of those cocktails that converts people. Use Rutherglen Muscat in place of sugar syrup and suddenly one of the world’s great whisky drinks has a depth and complexity that the original never quite had.
