The mix is a 60% proof fruit liqueur that is made from a blend of organic citrus, tropical & passion fruits. There’s also a hint caffeine & delicate herbal notes.

Alcohol packaging is following some very sexy trends at the moment & design house Reynolds and Reyner have produced a
pièce de résistance with their designs for Colier sparkling wines.
The premium Vintage Sparkling Wine is limited to 5 handmade bottles, with a gorgeous cocoon container that is weighted at the bottom, so the egg shape remains upright when the bottle is stored inside. It also apparently insulates the wine, keeping it cool so you can display it in style & then serve it nicely chilled.

From 7,500 feet above sea level, in ‘the purest corner’ of Mexico - the highlands of Purisima del Rincon - comes a tequila that is redefining luxury in terms of the South American drink.
DeLeón’s Diamante is their blanco tequila & so far it’s earned quite a reputation for itself in the premium alcohol field. Reposado is their ultra smooth offering, perfect for your cocktail evenings by the poolside. Diamante retails at around $139, with Reposado going for $129 a bottle.
The family-owned distillery will be releasing Añejo later this year & there’s a lot of buzz about the new kind on the block: the brew is apparently aged in Sauternes wine barrels from premium wine-makers. Keep an eye out for details on the Añejo release here.

If you’re in New York, or you’re heading there for a business trip, be sure to head out to the Covet nightclub on the corner of 55th St. & Lexington Avenue. There you’ll find the latest in luxury drinks, created & served by Orso Salicetti (pictured) & rounding off at a cool & crisp $160.
Salicetti is a skilled & creative mixologist - though frankly that sounds waaaay too scientific & lab-coat-like for our tastes, because it conjures up images of stuck-up old farts sampling mixtures in a boring white laboratory & saying things like “jolly good blend” & “do I detect a hint of fennel in here?”.
