Review

Pineapple was strongly to the fore when I opened the bottle, with washes of other tropical fruit in a combination that was almost reminiscent of Lilt. It’s a very sweet fruity taste and I felt the sharpness of lemon – the zest promised by the strapline – wasn’t sufficiently delivered. It’s pleasant enough, but rather too reminiscent of one of the tropical blend fruit juices to really justify its price. I was also slightly irritated by their explanation of why the drink comes in a 50cl bottle, rather than the more normal 70cl (‘By reducing our bottle size from the standard 70cl to 50cl we’re able to lower the price of Caleño to £18’). That seems to employ a sleight-of hand to suggest it’s overall a cheaper drink, whereas actually it’s exactly the same cost as, say, Seedlip: it’s just sold in smaller quantities.

Makers Notes

Caleño Light & Zesty is a distilled zesty infusion of tropical, citrus and spice botanicals. Featuring pineapple and papaya tropical notes as well as our iconic golden Inca berry, which is sweet, yet tangy with hints of lemon peel and citrus fruit flavours.
