From the Vodka Lime and Soda with an organic kombucha twist to the Pineapple Mango flavour which is a fruity blend of fresh pineapple, mango, organic kombucha and vodka, they are sure to quench your thirst this spring. With less than 1.6g of sugar per 100mls, containing only natural flavours with no artificial colours, sweeteners or preservatives, you might think that's starting to sound … quite good. Find them at a Liquorland or Super Liquor near you.

DIESEL OPENS
You could be forgiven for not having walked down the alleyway on Alexandra Street, which 4. is now home to Diesel Coffee Works. While neighbours Ernest, along with the myriad of eye catching murals have been doing a great job to draw attention to the area, the opening of Diesel’s roastery will definitely be another. Fin and the team admit there is still a lot to do, but the vision is clear and they are finally ready to open their doors. Inside what was a nondescript industrial space they have created a warm spot to hang and enjoy a cup of coffee. Alongside the comfy couches and at the heart of the space is the coffee roaster, making this a true experience. Diesel Coffee Works, 32b Alexandra Street, Hamilton.
