Blackcurrant Royale


Blackcurrant, honey and star anise vodka for a royal dark sip

Blackcurrant Royale embodies the elegance of summer distilled into a bottle. Each glossy berry bursts with intense, tangy sweetness, balanced by the smooth warmth of vodka. The dual sugars - white and cane - create layers of flavor, from crystalline brightness to mellow depth. Honey lends a soft, golden touch, while a single star anise adds a faint, aromatic spice. The result is a liqueur as refined as its name - dark, luxurious, and worthy of slow, celebratory sipping.
