Find us in Selfridges, Planet Organic, As Nature Intended, Teals, Eat 17 stores as well as some of the UK's leading premium bars, restaurants and hotels. Our journey started as a result of two things. The first being the realisation that the majority of alcoholic drinks on offer to us were fullto the brim with cheap, artificial flavours and packed with sugar and calories. The second was our growing determination to find a way to avoid having to choose between a healthy lifestyle and enjoying a drink with friends.So we decided to do something about it and created Served. A delicious, refreshing lower-ABV drink. Made by infusing fresh wonky fruit, with natural spring water and our ultra-pure, four-times distilled, ServedPured™ gluten-free alcohol (we know that’s a mouthful, but it’s worth it).The result? A crisp, light flavour, with a touch of natural sweetness. No sugar, no carbs, no sweeteners, no-nonsense.Pure Flavour. Pure Spirit. Pure in Every Sense. |  | Corporate Round | Sep 17, 2023 |  |
