Babicka, the Original Wormwood Vodka revives the magic of a 500 year-old Czech witches brew. A hypnotic blend of premium vodka distilled with the curative qualities of wormwood & other special herbs. Distilled in Prostejov in the Czech Republic using only the finest ingredients to ensure the best quality tasting vodka. The result is a luxurious vodka distinguished by its seductive aroma of citrus & wormwood, smooth, creamy taste & silky after notes of rich vanilla, caramel & aniseed. Perfect as an aperitif for its digestive qualities, in a cocktail or on the rocks, Babicka can be enjoyed many ways. Babicka vodka takes its name & inspiration from the 16th century 'babickas' of Czechoslovakia. These wise old women, 'grandmothers', we revered for their mystical healing powers & use of the art of witchcraft. It was the babickas who freely used wormwood & its extraction thujone in their potions & charms, as much for its mildly hallucinatory effect as for it much-valued digestive properties & reputation for enhancing well-being, sensuality, creativity & love. ...

Babycham had humble beginnings. The Showering brothers Arthur, Herbert, Ralph & Francis ran a small brewery, mineral water & cider making business from Shepton Mallet in Somerset.

After 23 years of experimentation, Don Facundo Bacardi set the standard for all future premium white rum. Established in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba Bacardi Superior Rum became the world's first premium aged white rum. To produce such a superior spirit Don Facundo combined the best of dark spirits production techniques (ageing & blending) with his pioneering filtration process (charcoal filtration, now used by other white spirits) to create the perfectly balanced mixing rum that neither overpowers nor disappears in your drink. Due to Bacardi Superior Rum's perfectly balanced taste it was used by cocktail pioneers as the principle ingredient in the birth of the world's best known rum cocktails including the Mojito (1860s), later featured in the 1931 book called Cuban Cookery, the Daiquiri (1896), the Cuba Libre (1900) & the Bacardi Cocktail TM (1917).

- orange juice, lime & soda, ginger ale or cranberry juice.
