The Drinks Bakery, founded in 2017 by Andy Murray (not that one) creates multi award-winning savoury ‘Drinks Biscuits’. Featured on Dragon’s Den, Drinks Biscuits are expertly flavour profiled to match great drinks such as champagne, craft beer, fine wines, whisky and gin.
Drinks Biscuits are hand baked in the Scottish Highlands using outstanding natural ingredients and are 100% natural with no nasties. Inspired by Andy’s childhood spending summers travelling through Europe in a campervan with his food-obsessed family. Eating in cafes and brasseries and visiting food markets and vineyards wherever they stopped, his parents would always match their aperitif with what the locals were eating. That respect for local flavours and matching with drinks became part of the family DNA.
Drinks Biscuits are the perfect Christmas gift or stocking filler. Here’s our guide to pairing them with a Christmas tipple.
Parmesan, toasted pine nut and basil
Parmesan, Toasted Pine Nut & Basil Drinks Biscuits are packed full of the best Parmesan cheese with long lasting tangy, nutty and caramel notes. Basil and toasted pine nuts give a herbal sweetness and honey profile. A classic Italian flavour combination. These are the perfect match for a festive glass of fizz or a whisky highball.
Andy’s favourite pairing is a Clynelish 14 year old whisky or a Pol Roger NV White Foil.
Mature cheddar, chilli and almond
We use a powerful mature cheddar cheese from Scotland, renowned for its tangy and fruity profile with a long, satisfying finish. Chilli and almonds give a satisfying crunch with layers of smoky, warm richness that complements a variety of premium beverages, such as fruity beers, ciders and red wines.
Andy’s favourite drinks match is Amontillado Sherry or a glass of Rioja.
Lancashire cheese and spring onion
We use the best Lancashire cheese and expertly combine it with English mustard and spring onion to create a full-on, fruity profile with a spicy finish. They’re like a classic Ploughman’s lunch but in a biscuit. A versatile, premium snack that pairs perfectly with a variety of drinks such as IPA, bitter beers, Pimms and dry white wines.
Andy’s favourite drinks pairing is Punk IPA or a glass of craft stout.
Pecorino, rosemary and Scottish seaweed
The aromatic sharpness of genuine Pecorino cheese shines through, with a balance of sweetness, herbs and spice with a briny edge of Scottish seaweed. This Drinks Biscuit has the power to pair with and elevate classic cocktails like a Martini, a negroni or the go-to gin & tonic.
Andy’s favourite drinks pairing is a simple, classic gin & tonic.
