A kola with a ‘k’ - made from the African kola nut, the original ingredient and eponym for the iconic drink. Crucially, this is a kola meant for cocktails. Rich spices including cinnamon, vanilla and coffee anchor the flavor while top notes of citrus like bitter orange and lime offer a crisp finish. This Sugarcane Kola Syrup will expand your expectations of what a kola can do in cocktails. Top with club soda or use as a base syrup.
The African C. acuminata tree produces these caffeine filled seeds. Their initial bitterness gives way to an earthy sweetness. For the Igbo and other West Africans, kola nuts symbolize good-will, love and respect for elders.
Each flower is only open one day a year, and it must be hand-pollinated. Once mature, beans are cut, blanched, dried in the sun and then wrapped in blankets to sweat overnight. Dying and sweating is repeated over weeks until the beans are fully cured. Theft is common, so each pod is actually branded by its grower.
This golf ball sized orange is prized for its peppery orange aroma. Native to Liguria in Western Italy, it's a popular ingredient in the region's local amari.
A medium roast delivers citrus, caramel and chocolate notes which make it a perfect pair for kola's citrus-spice profile.
Not another generic cola. Rich spices, zesty citrus and pure cane sugar combine for a symphony of flavor.
