5. Unico Mando Mandarin Liqueur

RRP: $34.99 | Distributor: Unico Distillers Aussie beverage producers and agricultural entrepreneurs Brendan and Laura Carter have launched Unico Mando, a creative extension of their Ugly Citrus project that began with Unico Cello (a limoncello liqueur crafted from lemons that would usually go to waste), Unico MANDO is made from the large portion of Dekapon mandarins that are typically rejected within the supply chain, to never reach consumers. Falling in love with the fruit’s intense flavour, Unico set out to salvage the fruit by establishing a healthy arrangement with their Riverland suppliers allowing for a ‘pre-harvest’ of under-sized and underutilised fruit.

The Unico team hand-peeled Dekapon Mandarins into high-grade grape-based alcohol, where it sat for six weeks prior to dilution with Queensland sugar. Refreshing and vibrant, it’s perfect for serving in spritzes over summer.
