We caught up with Lilian from LuxeRose to chat more about the inspiration behind these premium cocktail collections and the decadent flavours inside.
Tell us about Luxerose and where the idea behind the beautiful cocktails came from?
Luxerose came to life on a beautiful summer’s day when our founder was mixing cocktails at home, imagining a world where one could enjoy bar-quality cocktails without the hassle of making them from scratch. We wanted to create a luxury and niche product that is as convenient and flavoursome as it is fashionable!
We then sought after a selection of the world’s master bartenders and together, developed a trio of bespoke recipes inspired by memories and infused with summer. We partnered with a top New Zealand design agency to create our award-winning packaging and from there, a new generation of Ready to Enjoy cocktails was born! The product is very diversified. It is ideal for retailing (bars and clubs);serving on-premises for events, functions, weddings; corporate gifting and hospitality markets.
What are the different flavours?
We currently offer a trio of ready to drink spirits cocktails range and a trio of ready to drink manuka
Spirits range
• Moonchild is reminiscent of the spectacular beauty of a ruby red sunset. It is flavoured with citron vodka, orange liqueur & cranberry and lime juice.
• Summer Love is a reminder of aquamarine seas, azure skies, the great outdoors, the sweet taste of summer holidays. It has a base flavour of coconut liqueur and is layered with blue curacao and pineapple juice.
• Night Out – After a day relaxing on golden sands under the radiant sun, this is a refreshing flavour burst to enjoy before a night out with friends. Key Ingredients: passionfruit vodka, fruit alcohol & pineapple and orange Juice.
Honey range
• Honey Mead – Regarded as the ancestor of alcoholic beverages, Honey Wine is made by fermenting honey with water. True to tradition, our Manuka Honey Wine is crafted by slow fermentation of specially selected pure honey from New Zealand’s beautiful East Coast region. The distinctive character of Manuka honey creates a fuller, richer flavour. Exquisitely infused with edible gold flakes, our Manuka Honey Wine is a true representation of Mother Nature and the beauty of New Zealand. A smooth, refreshingly clean drink with a balanced finish and sweet honey aftertaste.
• Rose Honey Wine – Made with specially selected New Zealand Manuka and multiple floral
• Peach Blossom honey wine – Peach blossom wine is intricately infused with the fine Manuka honey and the sweet flavour of peach blossoms. This gorgeous, copper tinted honey wine is gentle on the tongue with a mild, nectar-like sweetness and a delightful honey aroma. Imaging and appreciating the wonderful flowery aroma of being in a peach orchard in the spring.
How did you come up with each of these flavours? and do you have a personal favourite?
In 2017, we searched far and wide to find the very best mixologists around the globe to reimagine some of our favourite classic cocktails. Our team worked alongside these master bartenders using their extraordinary taste buds and magical mixing powers to reinvent three classic cocktails suited to a New Zealand palate.
Personal favourite? hmmm can I say all of them?
