A sour beer made from Tayberry’s picked from a farm in Sussex. The perfect bright and cheerful drink, that’ll remind you winter is only a season and the joyful hot summer is only a few months away.
And for those not of us that didn’t know, a tayberry is a delicious cross between a red raspberry and a juicy blackberry.

Nine natural botanicals have been blended to create a deep and flavoursome spirit with a citrus-forward flavour. If you love a weeknight G&T but are looking for a sophisticated alcohol-free option, we recommend Botanical Dry.
As a non-alcoholic gin or vodka alternative, Botanical Dry is incredibly refreshing.
So, simply switch out your normal spirit or make a Martini by chilling your ZEO and enjoying it straight with a twist of lemon peel.
