ROOIBOS ON THE ROCKS
The nightcap, refined.
Picture the scene: A crackling fire, a plush velvet armchair, and the clinking of ice in a heavy crystal tumbler. We’ve captured the ritual of a slow-sipped tipple and distilled it into a brew that loves you back.
Think of this as the herbal cousin to a top-shelf Amaretto. It pours a deep, rusted amber, mimicking the glow of a fine spirit. On the nose, it’s all sophistication - rich, toasted Almond and sweet Marzipan notes that hit you first (think a liquid Bakewell Tart, minus the sugar).
But then the complexity kicks in. We’ve muddled in zesty Orange and tart Cranberry to cut the sweetness, and finished it with a warming spice rack of Anise and Clove. It delivers that satisfying, smooth mouthfeel of a liqueur, with a "burn" that warms the chest - minus the hangover.
The Science:
You might ask: Can a tea really replace a stiff drink?
The Cape Town Calm (Rooibos): While alcohol acts as a depressant, Rooibos acts as a restorative. It contains aspalathin, a rare antioxidant found only in this South African bush, which actively lowers cortisol (stress hormones). It mimics the "unwinding" effect of a drink, but aids deep sleep rather than disrupting it.
The Amaretto Effect (Almond & Anise): The "Disaronno" flavour profile isn't just delicious; it’s functional. The essential oils in Anise and the healthy fats in Almond work together to coat and soothe the stomach. It’s the ultimate plant-based "Digestif," perfect for settling the system after a rich Sunday roast or festive feast.
The Bioflavonoid Garnish (Orange & Cranberry): We’ve swapped the sugary mixer for real fruit. The Orange peel and Cranberries provide a hit of hesperidin and Vitamin C, supporting circulation and immune health while you sip your "cocktail."
The Main Benefits:
Sober Sophistication: A complex, adult flavour profile (Marzipan, Spice, Wood) that keeps you part of the party without the alcohol.
The "Zero-Proof" Digestif: Specifically blended to aid digestion and reduce bloating naturally.
Guilt-Free Sweetness: Satisfies the craving for a sticky, sweet liqueur without the sugar spike. 100% Vegan & Calorie Free.
Pour it over ice. Sip slowly. Cheers.
ALMOND is an allergen.
