Flightless Bird

A cheeky nod to New Zealand’s iconic kiwi bird, the Flightless Bird is anything but grounded. Crafted with our Apple Pie Moonshine, this cocktail soars with fresh apple juice, a hint of orgeat’s sweet and nutty flavour, a squeeze of bright lime, and the unexpected tang of muddled kiwi fruit. The result is a refreshing, orchard-inspired sipper that blends familiar comforts with an adventurous twist showcasing real, all-natural ingredients in every layer.
