You know that moment when ordinary lemonade is just too sweet and a bit boring? This is the fix. Fitch & Leedes Dry Lemon is sharp, properly citrusy and bone-dry, with fine little bubbles that wake the whole drink up. Splash it over a gin and tonic, a vodka, a whisky, or just pour it solo over ice on a hot Nairobi afternoon. Grown-up fizz, no apology.
First thing you get is real lemon. Not the syrupy candy kind, the proper zesty squeeze-of-the-fruit kind, made with actual lemon juice. It pours cloudy and pale with lively, fine bubbles. The sip is tangy and bright up front, then it pulls back into a clean, gently bitter, dry finish that leaves your mouth fresh instead of sugary. Think lemonade's cooler, sharper cousin who reads the room.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It's made by Chill Beverages, out in Stellenbosch in South Africa's Cape winelands, the same crew behind the whole Fitch & Leedes mixer range. The name itself is a fun bit of trivia: Ralph Fitch and William Leedes were two London merchants who set sail back in 1583 carrying a royal letter to the courts of the East. The brand borrows their adventuring spirit and pours it into a can of seriously good mixer.
