Australian made, Regal Rogue blends 100% organic Australian wine from Orange NSW with Native Australian Botanicals, to create a fresh, natural range of Australian aperitifs for all occasions.
The beauty of an aperitif is that it can be used in so many different combinations to create the perfect drink for you, whether you like a refreshing ginger base or something sweeter, with four different Regal Rogue flavours on offer – the options are endless.
The Regal Rogue range includes the four following variants:
Lively White a citrus and floral – semi dry
Daring Dry a savoury and umami – extra dry
Bold Red an aromatic spice and dried fruit – semi dry
Wild Rose a tropical fruit and fruit spice – semi dry
Regal Rogue operates with their environment in mind, and is constantly evolving under the guidance of the aboriginal philosophy of having as little impact as possible on the environment. They source their native botanicals from the indigenous communities of Australia, their grapes from an award-winning organic winemaker and they use recycled paper and glass on every bottle.
For the Regal Rogue review, we’re asking selected reviewers to take the Regal Rogue Cocktail Challenge at home. We’ll send reviewers into Dan Murphy’s to purchase one of the two Regal Rogue variants below, and then we’ll ask you to create your own delicious cocktail and share it with us here on Mouths of Mums – we can’t wait to see what you think of Regal Rogue.
Marrying in grassy Orange, NSW, organic Sauvignon Blanc with native anise myrtle, quandong, and native thyme is followed by notes of white pepper, olive leaf, and juniper. This combination delivers an earthy, savory, and lightly salted flavour profile, culminating in an umami finish.
Regal Rogue Daring Dry Australian Aperitif
Marrying organic Sauv Blanc from Orange, NSW with native anise myrtle, quandong, and native thyme that’s followed by notes of white pepper, olive leaf, and juniper. This combination delivers an earthy, savory, and lightly salted flavour profile, culminating in a umami finish.
For cocktail inspiration, visit Regal Rogue to discover the ‘Dripping Wet Martini,’ which combines Daring Dry with vodka (or a dry gin) to create a well-rounded martini. Alternatively, try the ‘3-Step Aperitif‘ that blends Daring Dry with Indian tonic, an olive, and thyme, served over ice.
Regal Rogue Bold Red Australian Aperitif
Marrying organic Shiraz and unwooded Chardonnay from Orange, NSW, this vermouth is led by aromatic spice and rich dried fruit. It is followed by native pepper berry, wattleseed, and native thyme, and finishes with cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, and ginger. This is the world’s first dry red vermouth.

I loved this product! It was easy to purchase at Dan Murphy’s and came in a beautiful bottle which looks lovely on a spirit shelf. I made a ‘3-step-apertif’ as recommended on the website with Regal Rogue Bold Red, ginger beer, fresh orange and a slice of ginger…it went down a treat with all my friends! The spirit is a wine replacement for gin, so is very versatile and has beautiful native flavours to it – pepperberry, wattle seed and native thyme. I would love to try the other flavours this range has to offer and would definitely consider purchasing this product again.

I had never tried an aperitif before and I am so glad I did. It’s a staple in my cocktail cabinet now and my go to for a summer drink. A simple addition to so many drinks and for someone who isn’t a lover of an overly sweet drink I really enjoyed the flavour. I can’t wait to try the others.

Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth is a winner for sure. I’m enjoying trying new cocktails with it. The flavour of the Bold Red Vermouth is so my style and love mixing with items such as Aperol and orange wedges. So summery and fresh. I will be heading out to buy more once finished, which is not too far away.

This is my second review of Regal Rogue. My first review concentrated on the Regal Rogue Bold Red but as I’ve also bought and loved the Regal Rogue Daring Dry I thought I should add a second review. While I enjoyed making negronis with the Regal Rogue Bold red, with the Regal Rogue Daring Dry I’ve been adding tonic water and ice. It’s another refreshing drink that is absolutely perfect for Summer and great for enjoying when friends come over. Once I finish this bottle i think I’ll try the Regal Rogue Wild rose variety next.

I recently had the pleasure of trying Regal Rogue Bold Red, and it was a very satisfying experience. Having never tried red vermouth before, I was pleasantly surprised by its rich and complex flavours, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Marrying organic Australian Shiraz and unwooded Chardonnay with native Australian botanicals, it offers a warming yet refreshing taste that I thoroughly enjoyed. My preference was for sipping chilled and neat to really appreciate the botanicals and flavors of the vermouth, but I will say it was fantastic in cocktails too. So much so that it will likely become a regular purchase. Regal Rogue Bold Red is a fantastic choice for those new to red vermouth, and it has certainly piqued my interest in exploring more in this category.

Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth is like a fun twist on the classic vermouth. It’s packed with organic Shiraz, Chardonnay, and a bunch of Aussie botanicals and spices that make it stand out.
What makes it even cooler is its lower sugar content, only 80gms per liter (64% less than the usual). So you can mix it with all sorts of things like oranges, ginger, figs, cherries, or just enjoy it on its own.
It’s not just a drink; it’s an adventure in a glass! Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth is your go-to for spicing up your cocktails or making relaxed evenings extra special. Cheers to the good times with Regal Rogue! ????????

I tried Regal Rogue Bold Red which is an aromatic spice and dried fruit. It’s a semi dry type of vermouth. I found it quite sweet though with the fruity taste. Looking at suggestions on what cocktails to try with it. I decided to make my own creation and add a non alcoholic seltzer with it. It had quotes of lemon and ginger spice in it. I found it complimented the alcohol quite well. All in all this vermouth is of premium quality.mi would highly recommend.

I tried the Daring Dry and my husband and friends love it. We mixed it with Sprite and a dash of lemon, tried a cocktail with tonic water and fresh mint leaves and a drop of mint syrup.
Also, we mixed fresh squeezed orange juice and a dash of lime.
It’s really versatile in all sort of mixes and goes well in a lot of cocktails.
I highly reckoned it – it’s so refreshing even on its own, just chilled.
Love it!

Embarking on a taste adventure with Regal Rogue's Lively White was a delight.
The blend of citrus and floral notes created a refreshing and invigorating experience. As I trialed it, I couldn\’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this Australian aperitif—each sip carried a hint of sophistication. The Cocktail Challenge at home added a fun element, allowing me to explore different ways to savour the lively essence of Lively White. If you\’re seeking a refreshing and elegant choice, Regal Rogue is a definite win. Cheers to a truly enjoyable experience!

I was hoping to try the Bold Red or the Wild Rose, but unfortunately after several trips to my local Dan Murphy’s I could find either of them, so had to settle for the Daring Dry. Even though it was my preferred option, it was quite enjoyable. I tried it with tonic, soda & cranberry juice. Tonic was my favourite with a wedge of lime.

Daring Dry is made with an Australian Organic native Australian herbs and spices, including native Anise Myrtle, Quandong and Native Thyme.Regal Rogue Darling Dry Vermouth is fantastic! It’s not too strong or sweet, just right. The flavors are like a mix of fruits and spices that blend perfectly. You can use it in lots of cocktails or just on the rocks. I’m very happy and i will recommend to all my friends to buy Regal Rogue Daring Dry. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

I really enjoyed trying out Regal Rogue Vermouth. Gin is usually my drink of choice but I was pleasantly surprised with regal rogue and its botanical infusions. Its has similar qualities and pairs will with soda or tonic and fruit.
It also makes a delicious addition to many cocktail recipes. I enjoyed dry vermouth with cranberry juice and gingerale. We also purchased the Bold Red after this trial to taste. It really is very good with ginger too

After trying the Regal Rogue Daring Dry I am telling all my friends about my new favourite summer drink. Mixed with tonic and lemon it’s simply delicious. Smooth, tasty and refreshing.

I found this item extremely hard to find in stores around me, though all of them would have the shelf space/ticket, it was usually unavailable on shelves/sold out, so it took a while to find, but I was committed & keen for a cocktail so I persevered.
Upon purchasing, I trialled with the 2 recommended cocktails; Rogroni & 3 Step Apertif, both of which were very quick/easy to make, even for those inexperienced in mixology of drinks. I liked the aspect of making my own drink, as opposed to buying an RTD; as though it wasn’t hard or time consuming to do, it did make me feel a bit ‘fancy’.
Both cocktails were sampled.. to completion, and enjoyed, with the verdict between my partner & I being that the 3 Step Apertif was the winner.
Personally, I thought it was a great product, that definitely delivered on the botanicals promised, however, it didn’t really seem ‘show stopping’, therefore had me questioning the price point a bit.
I probably wouldn’t repurchase again, but definitely will finish up what we have.

I was a bit apprehensive to try this one – we had already tried the red one and now hubby went out to try the daring dry one (not all Dan Murphy’s stock these either, it hard to find). I added a bit of lemon soda into it and some lime and it tasted amazing. I am not a big booze drinker but this is just right for me, especially with the added soda.

Pair with a delicious tonic, or if you like it sweeter, a lemon mixer.
I’d take a fresh pic, but i drank it too fast!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
