Drop of the Day: Finery Cocktails, ready to get your (small) level 2 lockdown celebration started!
Vodka and salmon are always a fabulous match, we’re pairing our Finery Cocktails with the super-popular hot smoked salmon and horseradish pâté.
Meeting friends for a cheeky cocktail at the bar may have been put on ice for now, but one local company is making sure you can enjoy restaurant-quality drinks at home. Introducing Finery Cocktails, a range of vodka-based cocktails set to take ready-to-drink options to a whole new level.
Made here in New Zealand, Finery has taken cues from classic cocktails but shaken things up to be a little fancier. Each recipe has been refined by seasoned enthusiasts with no tolerance for anything less than exceptional. The finished result is four subtle taste concoctions that embrace clean flavours - all inspired by nature. With a dedication to craft, Finery is made with honest, all-natural, local ingredients. Comprising aromatic botanicals, delicate fruit juices, teas and vodka, these refreshing beverages are best enjoyed as an accompaniment to fine food and good conversation.
They’re free from sugar, carbohydrates, gluten and preservatives and also unpasteurised. Each option contains five per cent alcohol (one standard drink), with vegan-friendly options, and encased in recyclable cans with a home compostable box. Production and packaging all take place in Auckland, keeping the company’s environmental footprint to a minimum.
Flavours include Grapefruit Cucumber and Mint for a refreshing hit. Ginger, Green Tea, Honey, Mint and Lemon deliver an uplifting aromatic ginger kick. Vanilla and Elderflower is addictively smooth and sweet, while Lemon Myrtle, Lime and Black Tea is a new take on the classic vodka, lime and soda.
Convenient, with little fuss and no spills, these cocktails are for the discerning drinker – a sought-after drink for grown-ups with good taste. Finery Cocktails are sold in packs of four with an RRP of $19.99. Opt for a flavour of your choosing, or try all four with the selection pack. Available from here and select liquor stores nationwide.
