It's not often you find a cocktail named for a music festival, but here we are.

Named for the annual Portugese music festival, Paredes de Coura, which takes place each August, this Paredes cocktail at Aria Restaurant in Sydney combines cacao butter-infused Aberfeldy whisky, oat milk, sweet pedro ximenez sherry and vanilla for a luscious, richly flavoured whisky cocktail.
