Sweet Tease Liqueur

Introducing our new Sweet Tease liqueur! We make it with byproducts from other local businesses. Do you know what cascara is? It’s the crimson husk of the coffee bean that is regularly discarded during the coffee production process. This husk has a sweet, fruity taste with notes of hibiscus, rose hip, cherry, and even tobacco. The cascara comes from a family-run organic farm in Costa Rica and is brought in by Morningstar Coffee in Langford, along with their beans. We use it to make a tisane (similar to a tea, but without tea leaves) then we add a hint of lemon zest thanks to the peels we source from Good Life Juice in Nanaimo after they’re done with their delicious juice-making lemons. The flavour depth of the coffee husk coupled with lemon makes for one smooth and refreshing liqueur - perfect for anyone with an appetite for iced tea. It’s exceptional over ice on a hot summer day, swinging life away on the porch. To add a little more punch, try this out:

We run our grassroots distillery with the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2030. This means we’re continuously developing innovative systems to harness, store, and repurpose energy generated during the distillation process. Beyond mechanical systems, we are passionate about collaborating with other small businesses and strengthening our community.

We like to partner with local businesses to create unique products, such as working with Two Crows Mustard to make distinctive jellies and marmalades using our spirits. Local talent, Amanda Key, designs our Mixbehave labels, and we proudly brew Westholm Tea for our Lady Grey liqueur.

If you’re interested in collaborating on a project, we’d love to hear from you!
