Woody’s Lodge is thrilled to announce an extraordinary partnership with the esteemed Gaucho restaurant group and luxury gin brand Cygnet Gin. Together, they have crafted the “Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz,” a unique cocktail designed to support veterans and their families.
Every Sip Makes a Difference
For every “Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz” cocktail purchased, Gaucho will donate £10 to Woody’s Lodge. This generous initiative will help fund our essential programs providing support, mentoring, and guidance to veterans, emergency service personnel, reservists, and their families across Wales.
Introducing the Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz
The Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz combines the distinct flavors of Cygnet 22 Gin, MUYU Jasmine, and Yerba Maté—a traditional Argentine herbal drink—topped with Chandon sparkling wine. This refreshing drink not only delights the palate but also honours the cultural ties between Wales and the Welsh expatriate community in Patagonia.
Celebrating Community and Support
Sian Woodland, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of Woody’s Lodge, shared her appreciation:
“We are truly honored by this collaboration with Gaucho and Cygnet Gin. The ‘Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz’ exemplifies community spirit and our shared dedication to supporting veterans and their families. This partnership allows us to expand our reach and make a real difference in veterans’ lives.”
Katherine Jenkins, founder of Cygnet Gin, expressed her passion:
“Honouring the British Armed Forces has been a lifelong commitment. As the founder of Cygnet Gin, I’m proud to collaborate with Gaucho to make a meaningful impact for Woody’s Lodge, a local Welsh charity that supports veterans and their families.”
Martin Williams, CEO of Gaucho, echoed the sentiment:
“We are excited to partner with Katherine Jenkins and Cygnet Gin on the Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz. This exceptional cocktail is part of Gaucho’s new ‘Spirit of Argentina’ cocktail list. We are proud to support Woody’s Lodge, a charity that provides invaluable services to veterans and their families.”
Available Now
The Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz is now available at all Gaucho locations. We encourage everyone to enjoy this exceptional cocktail and contribute to the vital work Woody’s Lodge does for our community. Recipes for the Yerba Maté Jasmine Fizz, featuring Cygnet Gin, are also available for those who wish to recreate this drink at home.
Discover Gaucho
Gaucho’s journey began with a passion for Argentina: its vibrant culture, lifestyle, and culinary traditions. Inspired by the gaucho (Argentine cowboy) way of life, the first Gaucho restaurant opened in London’s West End 30 years ago. Today, Gaucho is renowned for serving the world’s finest steaks, Latin American cuisine, and the UK’s most extensive selection of indigenous Malbec wines. With 20 restaurants, including 12 in London and eight in other UK cities, Gaucho continues to bring the essence of modern Argentina to the UK.
