SPAIN. Barcelona-based spirits company Destilerias Campeny has launched a ready-to-serve cocktail mix Agua del Desierto – dubbed “the first cactus cocktail mix in the world”.

Described as a citric cocktail prepared with Caribbean rum, lemon and cactus, the product was showcased at the IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas last month, where the company was exhibiting for the first time.

“This wonderful ready-to-serve combination aims to be one of the leaders in the trendy cocktail sector in the next few months,” said Destilerias Campeny Export Manager Sergio Clavell. “You can enjoy Agua del Desierto chilled, on the rocks or as a shot. It’s low-alcohol percentage of 14.7%abv allows the consumer enjoy a long drink thanks to its refreshing taste.”

The product comes in fashion-inspired packaging and will be available in the off-trade, on-trade and travel retail.

Also on show at IAADFS was the company’s best-selling Tolón-Tolón cream liqueur, now available in three new flavours: Macadamia Nut Cream, Whisky Cream and Chocolate Cream. Each cow-themed bottle comes complete with a bell around its neck. The company has also introduced a gift pack containing two matching cow-themed glasses, which retails at €10.

Among the other products introduced to IAADFS buyers on Campeny’s booth were Cafetino Coffee Liqueur, Mojito Mamasita and Orovana Rum Cream.

“We already exhibit at international trade fairs such as Vinexpo, but this is our first travel retail show,” Clavell told The Moodie Report. “We want to offer different things, innovative products,” he enthused.
