Dubonnet Rouge Grand Aperitif
$24.99Scarlet in the glass, with dark highlights and an aromatic mix of autumn fruit, warming spice and dried herbs.

Serve well chilled on its own or use its bittersweet profile to add structure to classic aperitif cocktails.

Duchess Margarita Ready-to-Drink Cocktail 280 mL
$7.99Real lime juice gives the opening a vivid citrus lift, while tequila adds a clean, earthy agave note underneath.

Serve very cold in a favourite glass or over ice, ideally with tacos, guacamole, grilled fish or salty snacks.
Duchess Strawberry Spritz Can
$4.99Ripe strawberry comes through clearly on the nose and palate, framed by a clean vodka base rather than heavy sweetness.

Light in texture and easy to serve, it is especially refreshing thoroughly chilled, either straight from the can or over ice with fresh berries, simple picnic fare or salty snacks.
Duchess Watermelon Martini 280 mL
$7.99Fresh watermelon leads with a juicy, softly aromatic character, followed by a clean vodka backbone and a lively squeeze of lime.

Serve well chilled in a small cocktail glass or over ice, with a lime wheel and light summer dishes alongside.
Duchess Watermelon Spritz
