The gin brand recently added another lemon-flavoured variant to its portfolio: Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru Murcian Lemon. Award-winning Leeds based craft beer brewery Northern Monk has entered the soft drinks category with an alcohol and calorie free sparkling water. With so many of our community becoming more conscious of their nutrition, diet and alcohol intake, we’re incredibly excited to enter this new category. We’ve combined our love of (arguably) the best water in the world, fresh from Yorkshire with our love for hops to create this sparkling hop water. No alcohol, no sugar, no calories, with the many health benefits and world of flavours hops bring.” Build over cubed ice, stir. Garnish and serve. (NB: If using granulated sugar dissolve first before adding ice and soda)

Rounding off this weeks new products list is another gin, Edinburgh Gin's new flavour, Orange and Basil (40% ABV).Furthermore, the name Nefiltr also highlights the beer’s signature, unfiltered nature, which is key in creating its hazy, gold colour, and deep, crisp flavour.

Each bottle contains a unique blend of 10 natural ingredients for a light alcohol drinking experience, ideal for day or night and available in three variants: London Dry, made with distilled botanicals with juniper and citrus with a spicy bitter undertone, sweet and savoury Spiced Blend made with Caribbean rum, and Aperitif, made with heritage botanicals mixed with strawberry and grape.

Billy Wright has been heavily embedded in the food and drink industry for many years, having cooked all over the world, from supper clubs in Borough Market, to restaurant takeovers in Greece, to food demonstrations in the moat of the Tower of London, he now brings his passion for tastes and flavours to the reduced alcohol drinks market. The name Valkyrie comes from Norse mythology, and these myths and legends have long-standing ties with military and naval traditions. We wanted to craft our rum to honour the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, marking the bravery and heroism of all those who answer the call of duty to serve." The table below contains all postcodes on a two day service. Please note all deliveries to Northern Ireland are also on a 3-5 days service. DECEM has been three years in the making, working tirelessly to find the most interesting combinations of fruits, herbs and botanicals to blend genuinely different liquids that hold complex flavours yet are easy to drink with the simplest mixers. We’re proud to launch the first three spirits in the DECEM range and give drinkers lighter alternatives to be enjoyed all day or all night.” Wright said: “Drinking is at the very heart of our society yet so many of us still can’t enjoy it without that slight fear of enjoying it a little too much. By reducing the alcohol content in our drinks it makes for a more enjoyable drinking experience yet still allows us to retain all the flavours.”

DropZone Brewery has expanded into the spirits market with the launch of limited edition an eight-year-old Barbados rum, Valkyrie Rum (65% ABV), honouring the men and women who have served in the armed forces. Ivano Tonutti, Bombay Sapphire Master of Botanicals, said: “The Mediterranean lemons are harvested at their perfect ripeness and truly showcase the very best flavours that nature has to offer. By harvesting them early in the season, their lively citrus notes shine through in the gin, delivering a vibrant, sophisticated taste.” Citron Pressé can be served long over ice with tonic and a squeeze of lemon, or mixed with soda, or cloudy lemonade. It is also recommended used as the base in ‘complex’ serves such as a White Lady or Southside Fizz.
