UME is the next generation aperitif: a first-of-its kind U.S. produced plum spirit. Unlike yesterdays bitter or syrupy sweet liqueurs and aperitifs, UMEs all-natural fruit flavor is uniquely tart with 60% less sugar than Aperol. UMEs stunning royal purple hue elevates every experience. UME was founded in 2020 by Jenn Toyzer who left a decade-long career in finance. One night Jenn discovered a plum spirit that was so delicious she felt she had been struck by lightning. Envisioning a product that is an experience in and of itself, Jenn sought to create a next generation spirit for the modern consumer: Delicious, Simple, Beautiful and Lower in Sugar and ABV. UME can be enjoyed on its own over ice, or mixed in gem-toned twists on classic cocktails. Try our Midnight Spritz: 2 oz UME 2 oz dry sparkling wine Top with Soda Orange or grapefruit garnish

Coconut Cartel is the story of Mike and Dani Zig and all the places they’ve called home. Born in Miami to Latin parents, the Zig’s grew up between Miami, Guatemala and El Salvador; often spending weekdays in Central America and weekends in Miami. These two drastically different, yet culturally connected places, are the very inspiration behind Coconut Cartel. As soon as they settled back in Miami, they began their first venture: smuggling’ coconuts in their suitcases from islands off the coast of El Salvador directly to Miami Beach’s best hotels. Creating one of the first ‘instagrammable’ beverages to hit the beaches opened up a lot of doors into the hospitality and spirits industries, allowing them to collaborate with brands such as Soho House, Standard Hotels, The Surf Lodge and into the hands of mega celebrities like Drake, Martha Stewart, HRH Prince Harry Sussex, Cristiano Ronaldo and many more. Coconut Cartel was born. Today Coconut Cartel is keeping the smuggler spirit alive with its coconut water infused, premium rums, Coconut Cartel Special & Coconut Cartel Blanco. Developed with Central America’s best coconut growers and distillers, and delivered straight to the U.S. via the Port of Miami, Coconut Cartel brings the best of the region to the rest of the world in a bottle.
