Caleño Drinks: Caleño Non-Alcoholic Tropical Free Spirit Review: May 2020 #Gifted

With the Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak it can be hard to feel like a free spirit and let your hair down.  That said, luckily that is where Caleño drinks helps make those happy vibes.

Ellie, owner and founder of Caleño drinks donned her glad rags and heels off for a night on the town dancing to the funky Latino beats, but Ellie soon noticed the range of non-alcoholic offerings are uninspiring and lacked excitement and adventure.

Frustrated by this, Ellie began her year long journey experimenting with Botanicals in her kitchen at home.  This inspired a trip to Colombia her family’s homeland.

Sunshine, vibrancy and the energy from her Colombian trip provided Ellie with the inspiration to create Caleño – a fabulous, bright and zesty tasty tropical infusion of juniper, citrus and spice botanicals steam distilled in stainless steel drums.

Caleño a Colombian inspired drink deep rooted in Ellie’s vibrant and energetic family homeland making sure that Non-Alcoholic drinking can still be fun, fabulous and free spirited…Ooo and yes without the dreaded worry of a hangover!
