Aloha 65
“Love that Aloha 65 says vegan on the bottle – and they support Plastic Oceans UK .”
“A fresh pineapple, ginger and chilli infused drink – and sauce too. I was hoping that they wouldn’t be too spicy for me – and luckily they were not! A night-time treat as well as a sauce that ended up on everything – from pizza to salad.”
With its sweet and warming botanicals of pineapple, ginger and chilli at its heart, Spirit of Aloha 65 is the perfect autumn or winter tipple and hits the spot on a cosy evening in front of the fire served just on its own over ice, or instead of a gin and tonic as a long drink mixed with ginger ale or a seasonal tonic like Fever Tree’s Clementine tonic water.
Or for something Christmassy surprise your friends and family by whacking some Aloha 65 in either red wine, cider or cloudy apple juice together with some cinnamon, star anise and cloves – job done.
Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, when it comes to your seasonal entertaining, Spirit of Aloha 65 has also got the canapes and vegan cheese board covered.
Their scotch bonnet infused pineapple chunks, whilst controversial on pizza, offers the opportunity for mouth and eye-watering canape creations or just a spicy twist to that classic retro combo – pineapple and dairy free cheddar chunks on a cocktail stick.

“These are so good – takes my home made vegan chicken curry to the next level! Also love this chutney on just about everything.”

She succeeded.
