Waitrose launches first clear, dairy-free cream liqueur

The arrival of this innovative spirit, which will be on shelves from 3rd February, reflects the growing trend for plant-based, dairy-free products at the supermarket.

Shaking up the dated perception of cream liqueurs, Wild-Arbor is a modern take on a classic drink which can be served straight over ice or used in a variety of cocktails, from an Espresso Martini to a White Russian.

Free from gluten, GMOs and lactose, Wild-Arbor is a clear spirit sweetened with honey, and has the same velvety texture, silky mouthfeel and indulgent flavour as cream liqueur, without the use of dairy. Ideal for those with a lactose intolerance, or vegans who eat honey, it’s a revolutionary step in the world of cocktail-making.

John Vine, Waitrose spirits buyer says: ‘We’ve been seeing the trend for retro drinks making a comeback for a while now and Wild-Arbor is proof that even the most traditional spirit can be modernised.”

Wild-Arbor is delicious served neat in a chilled rocks glass with ice and a slice of orange or a sprig of mint, or in a variety of cocktails.
