A vibrant atmosphere in West Bay on Friday to celebrate the release of a new vodka range.

The vodkas have been a passionate project involving Hive Beach Company and Leigh from E18hteen Distillery – who previously worked together to produce gins and spiced rums.

Around 50 guests gathered at The Watch House where they were treated to a specially tailored menu that was paired with the flavours and cocktails.

Bridport Mayor Ian Bark was in attendance at the launch.

The vodkas are available in Lime Zest, Dibar Café, Sea Salt, and a standard flavour. Coffee has been used from Dibar Café in Barcelona – who have been supplying the business for over 15 years.

The company directors recently took a driving trip from Burton Bradstock, crossing the channel through France to Barcelona. A bottle of the coffee vodka was taken along for to the trip, back to Dibar where the coffee beans are roasted.

If you want to see the trip in pictures - 'Bean on Holiday' features in the winter magazine.

Around 50 guests attended the launch of the new vodka range.

"We are the only UK importers and distributors of Dibar Café coffee, and have been for many years, so we are excited to have this incorporated in our new vodka," a spokesperson for Hive Beach Company told Nub News.
