Three Cents Artisanal Beverages was founded in 2014 by a group of bartenders in search of the perfect cocktail mixer. The award-winning range of premium mixers are designed to offer maximum flavour and carbonation to balance the ingredients of a cocktail or long drink, whilst elevating flavours and aromas and maintaining a drink’s fizziness. Three Cents point of difference lies in the process of being carbonated at maximum pressure and using a lower temperature to produce particularly bubbly sodas offering maximum flavour and long-lasting effervescence - a much sought-after quality by bartenders. 

Three Cents premium mixers debut its latest Fig Leaf Soda expression

Launching to mark Three Cents’ 10-year anniversary, Fig Leaf Soda crafted to meet consumer thirst for the unique and trending flavour profile, as well as the on-trade’s demand for authentic and high-quality mixers. It shines in an Americano when mixed with an Italian bitter and rosso vermouth, as well as complimenting whisky long drinks or enjoyed neat as a refreshing non-alcoholic option.

Three Cents collaborated with a micro-community in Greece to harvest leaves of the Royal Fig variety from a protected designation of origin area and uses natural ingredients, without the use of preservatives or artificial colourings. The Fig Leaf Soda is produced using a specialised and original method to extract the unique aroma and produce a high-quality liquid with maximum fizz. The result is a scent of fresh ripe figs on the nose and a distinctive flavour and long-lasting taste that is sweet and fruity yet balanced by a subtle and earthy undertone.

George Bagos, Three Cents General Manager & Co-founder, says “For the past decade Three Cents has been at the forefront of flavour innovation, from being the first company to produce flavoured sodas to acting as a driving force behind placing Palomas on drinks menus across Europe. The launch of our Fig Leaf Soda is the latest milestone in our drive to equip bartenders with premium mixers that tap into booming flavour trends.”  

“For us, true innovation is creating flavours that bartenders are excited to use and allows them to be creative by not overcomplicating the product. Destined for back bars in premium venues, the Fig Leaf Soda can elevate long drinks and can offer a unique spin on cocktails with its one-of-a-kind flavour. Fig Leaf has proven popular in the culinary scene in recent years and is carving out its place in drinks, so we’re incredibly proud to be spearheading the category by bringing the Fig Leaf Soda to the markets. We believe it’ll be welcomed by consumers looking for sophisticated serves and premium brands that offer authenticity, transparency and naturally crafted products.”

The signature range includes the newly launched Fig Leaf Soda, as well as Pink Grapefruit Soda, Two Cents Plain, Ginger Beer, Mandarin & Bergamot Soda, Cherry Soda, Sparkling Lemonade and Pineapple Soda expressions. It also features tonics such as a Tonic Water, Lemon Tonic, Aegean Tonic and a Dry Tonic.
