Killik Tiki Zest has been our local independent alternative to Cointreau for quite a while, so we thought it time we teamed up with the distillery for our monthly specials! Killik Handcrafted Rum are known for just that, their rum. But they make other things really well too! This October, treat yourself to a Vanilla Bean Cane Spirit with Mango, an orange and ginger gin, an orange liqueur, or splash out with one of our bargain cocktails! The Spiced Fruit Cup is perfect for warmer days, while the Breakfast Martini is a deliciously decadent treat for any time of day!
