HIGH POINT DRINKS
Last night my friend and I attended a press dinner at Hotbox Ldn to sample a curated menu of Hotbox’s delicious food paired with High Point drinks.
What are High Point Drinks? Well they launched this August and are a great non alcoholic alternative to enjoy for Dry January. High Point Ruby Aperitif and High Point Amber Digestif will provide cocktails that don’t compromise on flavour or a sense of occasion but leave you with a clear head the following morning and ready to focus on the day ahead.
High Point Drinks are made in Cornwall and are the world’s first premium non-alcoholic fermented aperitif and digestif. Both expressions have been created without artificial flavours or colours. They are made with natural ingredients taken from the surrounding Cornish countryside and then mixed with Cornish spring water and tea leaves. These botanicals are then infused, fermented and blended to produce drinks that are layered in flavours, deep in aromas and complexity.
We met the owners of High Point on the night and it was a very informative evening of how non-alcoholic beverages can not be boring. They can be exciting!
HIGH POINT RUBY was a favourite of ours on the evening.
