"Fresh · Bright · Punchy Straight Up Daiquiri
Single Serve · 100ml · 26% ABV
Rum
Lime
Sugar
In the late 1800s, American engineer Jennings Cox was in Daiquiri, Cuba, overseeing mining operations. One hot day, running low on gin, he mixed local rum with lime juice and sugar to create a refreshing drink. This blend became the daiquiri cocktail.
Over the years, numerous variations have emerged, including flavoured and frozen daiquiris. But the simplicity of the classic is a celebration of balance and nuance that puts it on a completely different level. The classic is best served “straight up” - well chilled, but without ice.
Drink chilled from the can, or pour into a coupe glass with lime garnish"

Aperol
$32.99
Aperol is an immensely popular Italian aperitif produced in Padua. Its ingredients are, among others, bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona. Although it looks, tastes, and smells much like Campari, it has a higher sugar content and is lower in alcohol. Serve 2 parts Aperol to 3 parts Prosecco. A splash of soda and a sliver of lemon. Bellissimo!
Tanqueray No.Ten
$55.99
Tanqueray Gin was initially distilled in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in the Bloomsbury district of London. When Charles died in 1868 his son Charles Waugh Tanqueray inherited the distillery, which operated until it was severely damaged in World War II. Only one of the facility's stills survived the Axis bombing. The remaining still, now known as "Old Tom", has since been moved to Cameron Bridge, Scotland.
Tanqueray No. Ten is a premium gin that has been quadruple-distilled for extra purity. It is a gin made specifically for martini drinkers. It was first introduced in 2000.

Lillet Blanc
$29.99
Beautiful, refreshing and unusual! Born in the Bordeaux region of France and in production since 1872, Lillet is made from 85% wine and 15% fruit liqueurs. Lillet Blanc shows aromas of honey and flowers with a hint of citrus. Lovely in a martini, and essential in a Vesper! (James Bond fans will know it from Casino Royale.)
Empress 1908 Indigo Gin 375ml
$29.99
From the Distillery;
"Handcrafted in small batch copper-pot stills, Empress 1908 Gin is created by Victoria Distillers and inspired by the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. In addition to more traditional botanicals, we add a signature blend of black tea served at the Empress Hotel, and butterfly pea blossom, an exotic herb that balances the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and natural indigo colour. Empress 1908’s combination of exquisite taste, delicate aroma, soft texture, and remarkable presentation provide the perfect base for a new aesthetic of cocktail creation and enjoyment.

3. Do they contain alcohol?
While the bitters contain 42% alcohol by volume (ABV), each serving holds an insignificant amount of alcohol relative to its size, classifying them as non-alcoholic products. The 42% ABV is full of denaturants that come from the botanicals, which make them bitter tasting and unpalatable for consumption as a conventional aperitif or alcoholic drink.
4. Are they vegan and/or gluten free?
Yes! There are no gluten or animal products used in any part of the extraction process, therefore our products are both vegan and gluten free. Additionally, many of the ingredients that Token uses in extractions are known for their therapeutic benefits in traditional cultures.
5. Are the bitters organic?
Token Bitters do not contain any artificial flavors or ingredients – we make it our mission to source only organic ingredients whenever possible. Soon we will be certified to put the term "organic" on our product labels.
Additionally, we source organic ingredients both locally and from fair trade sources around the globe. Our hops, for example, are cultivated by the BC based Harvesters of Organic Hops, and our favourite place to stock up on essentials is Edmonton’s Old Strathcona Farmers Market!"
