Black Cow & English Strawberries
Black Cow, the world’s smoothest vodka, launched its first flavour innovation in May 2019, Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries. Sustainably created at the Black Cow Distillery in West Dorset it uses locally sourced strawberries that are either leftover or too misshapen for sale in UK stores.
Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries only uses strawberries to flavour the Pure Milk Vodka, with no added sugar or sweeteners. The berries are pressed and infused in Black Cow Vodka for four days before being filtered and hand bottled at the Black Cow Distillery. The result is a crystal clear, blush-pink vodka packed with natural strawberry flavour that is both creamy and smooth, with hints of almond, vanilla and cinnamon.
Drink: 35ml Black Cow & English Strawberries, top with soda water. Served long over ice. Garnish with a mint sprig and strawberry (optional)

Everleaf
Everleaf is the delightfully delicious and exceptionally complex non-alcoholic aperitif sourced sustainably from nature. Everleaf is bright and bittersweet and is designed to be served with soda water or tonic (and lots of ice!) to create the quintessential summertime spritz.
Created by conservation biologist and bar owner Paul Mathew, Everleaf was born out of his experiences as a global botanical adventurer learning about plants, his desire to make something non-alcoholic to give people more choice when they don’t want to drink, and to reflect the concept of sustainability – both in consumption and also ingredient sourcing and production.
Drink: 1 part Everleaf, 3 parts soda water. Serve over lots of ice and garnish with an orange slice.
