Rediscover Sekforde Mixers.
Here at OnIn.London you know we’re fans of Sekforde so we thought it’s time to reintroduce them to you. Especially if you haven’t had the joys of trying them yourself.
We were sent a nice box with four bespoke Sekforde botanical mixers uniquely crafted to pair with your favourite spirits. They lovingly included four of their favourites which was a great surprise! Thanks so much!
No matter your spirit of choice, Sekforde’s four mixers are designed to unlock the flavours of individual spirits, allowing you to produce bar quality drinks at home.
The range is made up of four delicious flavours: Sicilian orange, rosemary & gentian designed to complement Whisky or Bourbon, Aromatic lime, cacao & mint to pair with Light or Spiced Rum, Raspberry, rose & sage for Gin or Vodka and Prickly pear, fig & cardamom for your Tequila or Mezcal.
Each mixer is 100% natural, and low in sugar with each 200ml serve packing in at under 36 calories.
Sekforde for Tequila or Mezcal – Prickly pear, fig and cardamom Sekforde for Tequila or Mezcal enhances the flavour of agave spirits with the gentle honeyed sweetness of prickly pear and fig finishing on a slightly spicy chocolate note. Serve in a highball or copa glass with ice and sliced rounds of fresh fig or pear. Recommended brands: Ocho blanco, Olmeca Altos Plata/Reposado, Tapatio and Patron Silver tequilas. For Mezcal try Quiquiriqui Matatlan mezcal, Vida, Bruxo X or Montelobos
Sekforde for Whisky or Bourbon – Sicilian orange, rosemary and gentian
Sekforde for Whisky leads with a sweet orange flavour and hint of rosemary, set off by a combination of dry bitters. Sekforde for Whisky is incredibly versatile – it makes a perfect drink with most bourbons and blended scotches. Serve in a tumbler or copa glass with ice and a twist of orange peel and, if liked, a sprig of rosemary. Recommended brands: Monkey Shoulder, Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal 12 yr old, Bulleit Bourbon or Rye, Buffalo Trace, Old Forester, Jameson.
Sekforde for Light or Spiced Rum – Aromatic lime, cacao and mint
Sekforde for Rum enhances the true character of the spirit. Fresh, zesty lime is a classic partner for rum, crafted with a unique blend of rose and aromatic herbs, bittersweet Ecuadorian cacao and a touch ofmint. Light and aperitivo-like on its own, this combination makesa light, sophisticated highball with a light or spiced rum. Recommended brands: Havana Club 3 and 7, Bacardi, Plantation 3 Star, Sailor Jerry, Trois Rivieres Blanc Rum.
Sekforde for Gin or Vodka – Raspberry, rose and sage
To counterbalance the piney depth of the juniper in gin, this mixer offers soft sweetness from rose and raspberry extracts. These flavours offer an evocatively summery characteristic, also light and fresh enough to add refreshment to vodka’s crystalline purity. Serve over ice, with a twist of grapefruit and a rosemary or sage sprig or a handful of fresh raspberries if you fancy. Recommended brands: Portobello Road, Beefeater, Tanqueray, Sacred, Chase, Hendrick’s.
The joy with these though is there’s no rule! I had rum with the whisky one… gin with the rum and tequila mixers! You can really try them with any spirit and they still taste great! In fact I prefer the tequila mixer with gin. Talula White you really did create a wonderful product in 2017 and it’s been a pleasure seeing the company grow from strength to strength!
