Developed in partnership with award-winning drinks distributor Babco, Savano is a premium new cocktail brand from broadcaster, entrepreneur and TV personality Olivia Attwood that pairs bartender-quality recipes with the grab-and-go ease of ready-to-drink cans.
Lime takes center stage in the new cocktail brand's flavor lineup, lending a bright, citrusy punch that anchors the drings with a refreshing, crowd-pleasing edge. The Moscow Mule, made the Savano way, unites premium British vodka with ginger beer, fresh lime and aromatic bitters, while the tequila-based Hot Honey Margarita uses the citrus fruit to temper the heat of jalapeño. For fans of rum, Savano serves up its take on the signature drink in Brazil with a canned Caipirinha with cane sugar and lime juice. Visually, the refreshment offered across Savano's debut lineup is carried through to branding and packaging inspired by the decadence of the French Riviera beach club scene in the 70s and 80s.
