Café de la Olla Syrup 225ml
Cinnamon sticks and oranges are classic sweet flavourings in Mexico. Mexicans use 'real' cinnamon sticks to provide soft, earthy, woody and perfumed flavours to their sweet treats, coffee and many savoury dishes too. We source the best (and most expensive) cinnamon sticks from Sri Lanka to flavour this syrup. The cinnamon sticks and spices are steeped in light muscovado sugar syrup for a day then crushed and allowed to steep some more before being strained out and a tiny bit of pure orange oil is added.
Use to sweeten Mexican coffee for a 'cafe de la olla' flavour, but it does so much more!

Arquitecto Tequila Blanco 70cl
A brand new tequila that comes in a great looking bottle with a beautiful label. The ABV is slightly higher than normal tequilas making this a characterful drink. Arquitecto Tequila blanco partners with S.A.C.R.E.D. (saving agave for culture, recreation, education and development) to plant one wild agave plant for every farmed agave plant used in the production of Arquitecto tequila. Plus it is part of the ecoSpirit range which will provide 4.5litre ECOtotes. Their technology is the first of its kind in the world to tackle the carbon footprint and waste associated with single-use glass in the alcohol industry. Cool! Tequila MatchMaker Rating: 84 by the communityReview by Andrew Davis: Nose: Nice sweet cooked agave with some black pepper. After letting it rest I noticed some light vanilla which I really enjoyed. Palate: cooked agave which starts with hints of sweetness but is not overwhelming. Finishes with a little bite of alcohol from that 42.5% abv and some black pepper as well. Medium in body probably would be great in a cocktail but still holds up as a tasty sipper.NOM: 1146Aroma: bright cooked agave, vanilla, black pepperPalate: black pepper, cooked agave, oak, warm mineral finishGood for: a super tequila to mix but also a tasty sipperInteresting fact: created by Maestro Tequilero and trained architect, Enrique FonsecaRegion: Jalisco, Los AltosAge of agave when harvested: fully mature blue weber agavesWater Source: deep well waterOven type: autoclave (low pressure)Extraction method: roller mill, screw millFermentation: stainless steel tanks, mixtoStill type: copperABV: 42.5%
