How to use the sampler

Start with a simple pour

There is no fixed route through the box. Start cold, pour over plenty of ice and note which balance feels right for the occasion.

01

Chill well

Cold temperature keeps acidity and carbonation feeling clean and refreshing.

02

Pour one at a time

Try a flavour on its own before adding garnish, sparkling water or a measured spirit.

03

Compare the finish

Notice whether you prefer dry peel, ripe fruit, floral tartness or warming spice.

04

Return to favourites

Each profile appears twice, leaving room for a second, more considered tasting.

Tasting notes

Choose your next can

Use the character of the moment—not a rulebook—to decide where to begin.

01

For a bright, dry pour

Begin with Grapefruit & Pomelo or Yuzu & Lime.

02

For layered fruit

Reach for Hibiscus & Pomegranate or Spiced Mango & Passionfruit.

03

For gentle heat

Try Jalapeño & Blood Orange or the warming ginger profile.

04

For an easy mixed serve

Keep the garnish minimal: citrus peel, ice and a little space in the glass.
