Domino is delighted to welcome on board L’Occhiolino (Locky-Oh-Leeno)

Best served chilled and at only 7.5% ABV, let L’Occhiolino be the perfect drink of choice when welcoming this summer. 

We’ll cheers to that! 

Eye’s on the prize

Presenting another of Domino’s exciting new clients this month, Ojo De Dios Mezcal (meaning Eye of God). Available in Joven and the world’s first coffee mezcal: ODD Cafe.

Ojo de Dios Joven has a delicious and abundant flavour profile, featuring sweet notes of dried apricots, plums and toasted pineapple, further complemented by hints of umeshu and fresh tobacco. Sensational sipped and adds depth to any agave spirit laced cocktail.

Innovative and bold, ODD Cafe combines smoky and delicate Mexican coffee to compliment fresh and earthy agave flavours, resulting in the ultimate drinking experience for any agave or coffee fanatics. 

Are you feeling Lucky for a Scorcher this June? 

Wait till you see who Domino has onboarded! A new rebellious drinks company Urchin Spirits is releasing two whisk(e)y-based liqueurs. 

Lucky Sod  is an Irish whiskey liqueur with flavours of toffee, caramel and vanilla. This liqueur will have you licking your lips wanting more! The bottle features a mischievous smirking cat character, inspired by the fable of the lucky black bog cat.

Scorch (29% ABV) available from July is a Scotch whiskey liqueur with more than a nod to the classic Old Fashioned cocktail, but with an added whack of candied blood orange, sweet vanilla and chilli heat. Standing firmly against Scotch convention, the logo illustrates the classic stag but with horns of fire, matching the ‘let tradition burn’ tag line!

New artisan Mezcals from Código 1530

Attention all Agave lovers, Código 1530 is soon to be launching two brand new premium Mezcals; available in both Artesanal and Ancestral forms, Código 1530 has applied their traditional codes or códigos and customs of tequila making to mezcal.
