Review:
Slightly sweet, this complex cocktail combines flavours of red wine with subtle herbal notes and is fortified with light rum.
History:
Unknown. Originally, in the early years of the British settlement of Australia, Bushrangers were runaway convicts who had the survival skills necessary to use the Australian bush as a refuge from the authorities. The term then evolved as the Australian term for a highwayman.
