That mint flavoured slab of sugar you probably first tasted on a school trip, while on a forced march up a mountain, has had a boozy makeover.
The retro energy bar, made from peppermint, sugar and glucose, is popular with climbers who munch on it for energy. Fun fact: it was carried by Sir Edmund Hillary and his team on their ascent to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953.
But now the old-school snack has been given a 21st century revamp – it’s been turned into a 24 per cent ABV liqueur.
Because, as the strapline goes, ‘candy is dandy, but liqueur is quicker’.
