Same same, but different
The classics you know, with the familiar citrus flavour, aroma and acidity. Same spec, same taste. The difference is in the prep: no juicing, batch ahead, more time for your guests.

Clear, not clarified
COOH is clear from the start, so you get the look of a clarified drink without milk punches, centrifuges, filters or waiting overnight. And because it's not fresh fruit, you can infuse it.
