History
Slightly sweet, this complex cocktail combines red wine flavours with subtle herbal notes, fortified with light rum.
The origin is unknown. During the early years of Australia's British settlement, Bushrangers were escaped convicts who possessed the necessary survival skills to utilize the Australian bush as a hiding place from authorities. The term later evolved to denote an Australian highwayman.
