The idea behind these 2 very different drinks is that the first is light and an aperitif with flavours complimenting the floral and zingy notes of Oxley. The second is very much a richer and more intricate balance in flavours. It is designed as a dessert drink or digestif. The chocolate and bitter flavours of the bitters and the balsamic, perfectly round the rich taste of the strawberries, and the pepper speaks to the spices in Oxley.
