Derbyshire-based Global Brands has recently launched Gather, a range of classic cocktails with indulgent twists, including Chocolate Honeycomb Espresso Martini and Spicy Mango Margarita, all in 150ml cans.
Gather’s range combines delicious cocktails with the desire to drink something different, including Chocolate Honeycomb Espresso Martini, Raspberry Ripple Daiquiri, Caramelised Pineapple Rum Punch, Spicy Mango Margarita, and Salted Caramel Banana Colada.
The unique new line-up of cocktails provide consumers with an authentic classic cocktail, but with an added indulgence that creates an elevated drinking experience.
We were sent all five varieties and were very impressed.
The Chocolate Honeycomb Espresso Martini was a complex and inviting take on the classic Espresso Martini. Dark, moody, but with a chocolate and honeycomb hit that provided a subtle sweetness, balanced well with the caffeine-fuelled original.
The Salted Caramel Banana Colada was an amazing interpretation of the classic Spanish cocktail, the piña colada (literally ‘strained pineapple’). The banana, replacing the pineapple, was a stroke of genius and delivering a unique mouthfeel and a lingering, extremely pleasant finish.
The Spicy Mango Margarita also didn’t disappoint and delivered a complex fusion of mango fruitiness, which tames the heat of the habanero chillies. There’s not much in common with the classic margarita (whose ingredients include tequila, triple sec and lime juice), but another impressive cocktail from Gather nonetheless.
Caramelised Pineapple Rum Punch – the taste of the Caribbean in a can – delivered an indulgent sweetness, from the caramelised pineapple and the rum brought in the balance ensuring that this cocktail remained a purely adult experience.
Finally, we sampled the Raspberry Ripple Daiquiri, which was another unique interpretation of a classic cocktail. The white rum is balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the raspberry juice and the citrus hit of the lime juice provides a subtle acidity that delivers a unique mouthfeel and a satisfying finish.
Commenting on the launch of the range, Emily Seddon, Gather’s brand manager, said: “Gather is for the foodies, the socialites, the ones who appreciate a laid-back luxury.
“Every sip is as effortlessly chic as it is flavourful and whether you’re a connoisseur or just exploring something new, we’ve made it easy for everyone to enjoy a unique, delicious and hand-crafted experience.”
The ABV of the gourmet cocktails ranges from 12-14.9%, with a recommended retail price at £3.50 per 150ml can. The full range is available through Global Brand’s consumer website and on Amazon.
We expect sales of these cocktails to gather momentum, given their quality, attention to detail and the sense of fun that they deliver.
