Bavaria wheat Beer

This aromatic, naturally hazy beer has all of the flavours of a Belgian or Dutch wheat beer, but none of the alcohol. After a long day of looking at a computer screen, this is the ideal after-work pick-me-up.

Royal Flush

Made from fragrant First Flush Darjeeling, Royal Flush is a great alternative to sparkling wine. It pairs nicely with charcuterie and it’s light and flowery.

5 

Elderflower Cooler

This refreshing mocktail combines elderflower cordial (1 tbsp) with apple juice (125 ml) and sparkling water. Mix to taste and garnish with lime and mint.

6
