With its gentle sweetness, zesty aroma and light, refreshing body, the Dressmaker is the kind of cocktail that suits almost any occasion. It’s simple, stylish and irresistibly drinkable.

The Story Behind YuzuCello

YuzuCello is Rothwell Distillery’s vibrant twist on the classic Italian limoncello. While traditional recipes rely on lemon zest, YuzuCello starts with the aromatic zest of yuzu — a citrus fruit native to East Asia known for its bright acidity, floral notes and tantalising perfume.

This zest is infused into Rothwell’s paddock-to-bottle grain spirit using an Italian lemoncello method, creating a dazzling fusion of cultures and flavour profiles. YuzuCello is:

• Zesty and aromatic with a unique citrus complexity
• Bright and lightly sweet with natural citrus oils
• Wonderfully refreshing with a floral, uplifting finish
• Perfect for spritz-style cocktails and sparkling serves

It’s a liqueur that doesn’t just taste good — it elevates every drink it touches.

What the Dressmaker Tastes Like

The Dressmaker is fresh, sparkling and citrus-driven, bringing together the elegance of prosecco and the aromatic power of yuzu. Its flavour profile includes:

• Bright citrus from YuzuCello
• Light sweetness and zestiness perfectly balanced
• Effervescence from prosecco and soda
• Refreshing dryness from the sparkling wine
• Floral and aromatic top notes carried by the yuzu

The result is a beautifully balanced spritz-style drink that is as refreshing as it is elegant.
