Howie's Spiked has introduced two ranges of alcoholic lattes, which are claimed to be the "first to market" offerings. Alc-A-Chino Clear Can Lattes is available in three flavours: Original, mocha and vanilla bean bourbon. These lattes, boasting a 13.5% ABV, are crafted using 100% Arabica coffee, premium spirits, dairy and pure cane sugar. For those seeking a dairy-free alternative, the Alc-A-Chino Oat Milk Lattes offer a choice between original and vanilla flavours, packing a 6% ABV. Both flavours are blended with 100% Arabica coffee, pure cane sugar, six times distilled vodka and oat milk. Vince Gioe, CEO of Howie's Spiked, said: "Our non-dairy latte and 200ml Clear Can offerings mark the next chapter in a series for the Alc-A-Chino Spirited Coffee Shoppe experience, as we revolutionise the hard coffee category with premium ingredients and packaging". The Alc-A-Chino offerings are free from artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
