Dandy Smoke
AWARD WINNING, MEATY AND SMOKY NON-ALCOHOLIC SPIRIT
A bold opener of sweet smoky lapsang and top notes of pine, the body comes through with a deep fruit, cinnamon and clove. Finishing with spice notes of ginger, chilli and nutmeg. DANDY is inspired by our favourite smoky, dark spirits and is especially good for Sour cocktails or with Cola & a squeeze of lime.
Carl Anthony Brown, Founder
"Like all aged alcoholic spirits, DANDY possesses the same rich spice flavours. Its robust, smoky and packs a punch. Tame it by diluting and stirring with ice and adding a little honey."Nutritionals

experience
Get ready for some Smoke! Dandy is built to add the fiery kick to any drink or cocktail it plays with. First thing it does is fill the nostrils with burning pinewood and peat. On first sip the smoke integrates into a myriad of sweet spice, bitter orange and bonfire flavours. The lasting feeling is robust chilli heat and intensely aromatic piquancy, reminiscent of a fireside sipper.
SHELF LIFE & STORAGE
For unopened bottles, please see best before date on base of bottle, this is typically around 1 year.
Once opened, store in a cool, dry place and use within 3 months.
The bottles do not need to be refrigerated.
Due to the natural ingredients used in production, sediment is normal, so we recommend to shake gently before use.
WHAT IS CROSSIP?
Unapologetically bold. A concentrated non-alcoholic, macerated spirit with a potent kick to enhance your mixer or cocktail and add some real character to your drink. Crossip does not mimic other alcoholic spirits, we have used our favourite cocktails and spirits as inspiration for our own unique explorations of flavour and texture. The overriding goal being to give our customers a sensation of a more mature finished drink with depth, that is designed to be sipped. We recommend to use Crossip with care, because of its sheer power, you will only need a small amount (25ml) to give the depth and body every great drink has. It is not designed to be drunk neat.

frequently asked questions
IS DANDY SMOKE A WHISKY SUBSTITUTE?
Dandy was created as a base for drinks and cocktails that have the flavours and mouthfeel of robust & smoky dark spirits, whiskey included. So, whilst you can make a Dandy & Coke and it feels like a rum or whiskey & Coke with a smoky kick to it, it doesn’t taste exactly like whiskey when drank straight
WHAT IS LAPSANG SOUCHONG TEA?
Lapsang Souchong is the hero ingredient of Dandy Smoke that gives it all the rich smoky goodness. It is a black tea that is smoke-dried over a pinewood fire. It originates in the Wuyi Mountains region of Fujian, China. The fermented leaves are put on hot iron pans or plates and roasted for a short time to ‘seal’ the leaves. The tea is then smoked over sustainable exotic woods that are rich in resin. The result is a spicy, smoky flavour.
SHOULD I DRINK CROSSIP 'NEAT'?
It certainly won’t do you any harm if you do BUT Crossip was designed to create tasty drinks. Therefore, it is quite full of flavour and bold. We would always recommend using it with a mixer or in a cocktail.
DO YOU USE ANY ALCOHOL IN PRODUCTION?
In short, no. Due to our unique process we have no need to utilise alcohol as a solvent to extract flavour. We can definitively say that at no point in the process does alcohol ever come into contact with Crossip.
