Smith & Sinclair reveals new collection of vodka pastilles

From:FoodBev

Smith & Sinclair has revealed a new collection of vodka pastilles to join its innovative range of alcoholic cocktail confectionery.

The pastilles retain between 6% and 8% ABV alcohol and deliver layer upon layer of flavour with a subtle alcoholic kick. The selection offers a British twist on two classic cocktails – Rhuby mule, a vodka, rhubarb and ginger pastille coated in sour lime sugar; and Long Island high tea, a vodka, black tea and rum pastille with raspberry-infused sugar coating – which will be released today as a box of six with a retail price of £9.99.

Since its launch last year as the first food product to be sold on the alcohol shelf, Smith & Sinclair now retails nationwide in Harvey Nichols, Fenwicks and other high-end retailers. The pastilles have proved to be so popular that the brand has now launched a crowdfunding campaign to provide the world with its very first edible alcohol shop, which will have all the charm of a sweet shop combined with Smith & Sinclairs expansive knowledge of premium spirits.

Speaking about the new collection, Smith & Sinclair co-founder and product creator Emile Bernard said: “We’ve taken two well-known vodka cocktail classics and put a very British spin on them for our new vodka range. We’ve seen a resurgence of ginger in cocktails and the Moscow mule is becoming a firm favourite amongst vodka drinkers.

To give it a twist we decided to pair the flavours of lime and ginger with the cutting, clean qualities of rhubarb and the Rhuby mule was born. Our second cocktail is Long Island iced tea, which has been given a high tea makeover with black tea bitters and coated in raspberry infused sugar, reminiscent of afternoon tea and jam. As you can probably tell… we’re after the royal stamp of approval here.”
