Not content with launching a multi-award-winning Hard Seltzer, Lilo has now launched Lilo Zing, an exciting new botanical spirit. Light, fragrant and zesty, it is the perfect base spirit for almost any classic summer serve…and at just 25% ABV and 35 calories per single-serve, it is bang on the ‘no-lo’ trend too.
Crafted by an award-winning Scottish Distiller, Lilo Zing is a botanical spirit infused with lemon verbena and orange peel – imparting indulgent lychee, melon, and acacia-honey notes into an exceptionally versatile liquid with a subtle and pleasing alcoholic kick.
Think of it like a gin without the juniper – and Lilo Zing is perfect for any gin-based serve. A refreshingly light G&T or a less-punchy Martini. The botanicals also deliver fresh wine-like notes – making Lilo Zing the perfect base for an easy-to-make at home Wine Spritz with less alcohol and calories than many other spritz options.
It comes wrapped in the same award-winning design as the hard seltzer thanks to our artist in residence, Maria Rivans – and her signature style of pop-art meets surrealism ensures Lilo Zing looks as good as it tastes.
Lilo was launched by a group of friends in the drinks industry. Having spent years advising the biggest drinks brands in the world, they came together to launch their own brands.
Lilo was established with a mantra to “Live lightly” and an intent to launch sophisticated expressions across categories that are all lighter in alcohol strength and lower in calories than their category peers. “Less guilty” pleasures if you will…but without sacrificing great taste.
They succeeded with flying colours, quickly accumulating taste awards for their hard seltzers, which have the accolade of being the only hard seltzers stocked by Harrods.
Co-Founder and Managing Director, Hannah Fisher said:
“We genuinely care about crafting drinks which are lighter in alcohol strength without sacrificing the taste so people can go low, not no. Why should something lighter not taste as good as the original?! We have spent the past 3 years developing a range of spirits and RTDs which offer a less guilty pleasure but without losing the taste experience. We are delighted to start launching these”.
Designed in Brighton and distilled in Scotland, Lilo Zing represents the very best in modern British botanical spirits…so whether you are looking for a “Thin & Tonic” or a “Midweek Martini” or are just tired of juniper-dominated gins, then this new lighter spirit is for you.
Lilo Zing Botanical Spirit. Your perfect Summer in a glass.
Perfect Serve
Lilo Zing is great as a Thin & Tonic at only 35kcal. It equally works very well in any gin-based cocktail including a Midweek Martini given the lower abv at 25%.
