FAQs
What is Borrago?
Borrago is a delicious non-alcoholic spirit. Designed to taste as good as or better than alcoholic drinks, it gives a real choice and a moreish, sophisticated drink worth celebrating with. It is designed for mixing, not drinking straight, so have a look at some of our cocktails.
A non-alcoholic spirit, how does that work?
We call it a non-alcoholic sprit, because you use it like gin or vodka as a base for cocktails. But it does not try to mimic them. It is built from the ground up to give a drink like no other. Complex, layered and smooth, it uses six botanicals to give a dry, delicious flavour, a mouth-watering, moreish nose and a long smooth finish.
We have carefully selected six delicious botanicals; cardamom, lemon verbena, basil, rosemary, peppermint and lemongrass. These are individually steam-distilled and processed to keep their unique properties. These are then blended and bottled to create a drink like no other
What does Borrago #47 Paloma Blend taste like?
Borrago #47 Paloma Blend is deliciously dry, with sweet floral notes on the nose, a layered and textured middle, with a long clean finish.
The cardamom gives a floral yet spicy nose, rosemary is the backbone of the drink and the peppermint gives a clean finish
On the palate, it is fairly big and chewy, a drink to be sipped and savoured. Full of citrus, spice and pepper, it has a long cool, clean finish.
