A kola with a ‘k’ - made from the African kola nut, the original ingredient and eponym for the iconic drink. Crucially, this is a kola meant for cocktails. Rich spices including cinnamon, vanilla and coffee anchor the flavor while top notes of citrus like bitter orange and lime offer a crisp finish. This Sugarcane Kola Syrup will expand your expectations of what a kola can do in cocktails. Top with club soda or use as a base syrup.
The African C. acuminata tree produces these caffeine filled seeds. Their initial bitterness gives way to an earthy sweetness. For the Igbo and other West Africans, kola nuts symbolize good-will, love and respect for elders.
Each vanilla flower is hand pollinated. Once beans are harvested, they are cured via a 4 month process involving blanching, daily sun drying and nights spent "sweating" while wrapped in blankets.
Unfortunately, theft is so common that each pod is actually branded by its grower.
This golf-ball sized orange is cultivated in Liguria, Italy where it often lends its punchy taste to popular local amari. Chinotto's flavor is lightly bitter, and its spectacular aroma of peppery orange make it a perfect addition to kola.
A medium roast delivers dark chocolate, caramel and fruity notes - excellent accents to the kola syrup's citrus-spice profile.
Not another generic cola.
Rich spices, zesty citrus and pure cane sugar combine for a symphony of flavor.
