It Took Six Days from the Idea’s Inception to the Product Hitting The Shelves. The Drink Had to Be Red, Donelly Said, and they weren’t sure if it would be vodka- or gin-based. Cranberry Concentrate Was Already in the Freezer, and it Took Five or Six Iterations of the Cocktail, with 35 per cent alcohol, before they nailed Down the Flavour.
