SOFT DRINK/MIXER

Named for a well-known region of Rio, Leblon cachaça looks like any other white rum or vodka but its flavour tells a different story. Its nose is a borderline combination of sugar sweetness and zesty citrus and is reminiscent of a good rum and a slice of lime. On drinking, you’ll enjoy an initial hit of that limey citrus soon followed by strong rum-like flavours tempered down by sugar cane sweetness. Leblon is harsh on the palate but not overwhelmingly so and is a great alternative to your average white rum in a daiquiri.

Monkey 47 uses wild-grown, hand-picked sloe berries from the black forest in Germany and every single batch is distilled over a three month period to guarantee a perfectly blended taste. A very rare and exclusive sloe gin, get it before it’s gone.

Fantastic marmalade vodka from the chase crew. Probably inspired by Salvatore Calabrese classic the breakfast Martini, either way, this vodka rocks!.
