Drambuie Launches Series of Coffee Cocktails

Drambuie, the original whisky liqueur owned by William Grant & Sons, Ltd., announces the launch of the DRAMBUIE x CHAMELEON bespoke cocktails, a collaboration with Austin-based Chameleon Cold-Brew Coffee.

Featuring a menu of cocktails created by Drambuie Brand Ambassador Vance Henderson, the partnership merges the quality of consciously crafted beverages, unique flavor profiles and the spirit’s more than 270-year history, and versatile uses in contemporary cocktail culture. The collaboration’s signature Java Royale cocktail is now available in a ready-to-make kit from Cocktail Courier through September.

“Drambuie and Chameleon Cold-Brew are perfect complements to each other. The smooth taste of Drambuie – heather honey, herbs and spices, and just a touch of sweetness pair exceptionally well with the rich and bold flavors of the cold-brew coffee making for delicious and creative cocktails. The DRAMBUIE x CHAMELEON line-up is ideal for summer whether enjoyed for brunch, as a happy hour pick-me-up or an after dinner drink.”
– Vance Henderson, Drambuie Brand Ambassador

DRAMBUIE x CHAMELEON’s libations vary in style and taste, appealing to coffee lovers and discerning cocktail enthusiasts alike. The signature Java Royale cocktail is a palate pleasing combination of Drambuie, Green Chartreuse and Chameleon Vanilla Coffee Concentrate with a candied ginger garnish, while other Cocktail Café recipes include the Sand & Smoke made with Chameleon Mexican Coffee and the Great Pretender with Chameleon Vanilla Coffee Concentrate and Peach Brandy. Select recipes included below.
