Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Aesha Scott is using her chief stew experience to create her own cocktail — and it has already made its Bravo debut.
During the Monday, April 7, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Below Deck Down Under‘s Lara Rigby and Below Deck Med alum Mzi Dempers broke down the newest drama in the franchise. (ICYMI, Below Deck Down Under took a turn when Alesia Harris accidentally got in bed with Wihan du Toit, which caused Johnny Arvanitis to get aggressive after catching them together.)
In between answering burning questions about what comes next, the guests were introduced to a cocktail created by Aesha and served by guest bartender Analiese Bradshaw, a research associate producer for WWHL. The Chief Stew, which uses Canada Dry Fruit Splash, is part of a season-long integration with Below Deck.

The Chief Stew Recipe
Ingredients:
1 shot vanilla vodka
1 shot cherry brandy
1 shot sweet vermouth
1 shot Canada Dry Fruit Splash
Preparation:
Fill a martini glass with ice. Add the vodka, brandy, and vermouth into a cocktail shaker. Add the ice from the glass into the shaker and shake well with a couple of drops of Wonderfoam (or leave it out for a foam-free version). Splash some sweet vermouth into the glass and swirl to coat before tipping out. Pour the shaken mix into the martini glass and top with Canada Dry Cherry Fruit Splash. Garnish with two maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick.
