Kaveri Ginger, The Exotic Ginger Liqueur has joined the portfolio of award-winning drinks distributor Speciality Brands, as the brand looks to accelerate its UK growth.

The brand launched in 2023 by Varun Sarna, after he took a step back from his law career and developed a passion for cooking. Kaveri Ginger is made with fresh cold-pressed ginger and a distinctive blend of Indian-inspired ingredients, including jaggery, raw mango and Himalayan black salt. Bottled unfiltered to preserve the full character of its natural ingredients, it delivers a vibrant balance of sweet, sour, spicy and savoury flavours. Kaveri shines in a wide range of cocktails and is equally enjoyable served neat over ice.

Since its launch Kaveri has quickly built a presence in some of the world’s most renowned venues, including Claridge's, The Dorchester and The Ivy Collection. It is also available beyond the UK, in Ireland, the Middle East and the Maldives.

Sarna commented: "This is a pinch me moment. Kaveri was built to bring something genuinely different to the bar, fiery, real ginger rooted in heritage, made for the way people drink now. Aside from being one of the world’s most respected distributors, Speciality Brands shares our belief in quality and authenticity and has spent years proving it can build brands. That's exactly the partner we wanted for this next stage.”

Chris Seale, Managing Director, Speciality Brands: “We were really impressed by Varun’s ambition and the quality of Kaveri’s liquid. The brand has achieved great success in such a short time. We’re very excited to be bringing a truly unique and versatile ginger liqueur to our portfolio and are looking forward to being part of Kaveri’s expansion in the UK”

Speciality Brands will represent Kaveri Ginger (ABV 20.3% - RRP: £26) across the UK from September 2026 onwards.
