The masterminds behind Slingsby Gin have launched one of the UK’s first rosé vodkas and it's already a hit amongst Leeds locals.
A delicious new drink inspired by the delicate fruity flavours of a Provence rosé wine, was officially unveiled at Issho rooftop bar last week, and it's safe to say it went down a storm.
Crafted using quality ingredients and infused with a mixture of flavours including raspberry, white peach, and pink grapefruit, Rozél serves up ‘sunny day brunching’ vibes as we step into summer and (hopefully) the warmer weather.
Just in time for National Rosé day this Saturday 10 June 2023, Rozél received a great reception from the crowd at it's launch party where they were served vodka based cocktails.

Rozél selected Leeds as its hero city and the perfect place to launch its new tipple due to the results of a recent survey proving the lively Yorkshire city to be the UK's pink drink-loving capital.
With 57% of residents saying they would select a pink drink over any other colour, Leeds was the only choice to introduce this delicious new drink.
"We are delighted to introduce Rozél Rosé Vodka” said Clare Gibson, Marketing Director at ICB Ltd, producers of Rozél.
"Our goal was to create a vodka that embodies the rosé lifestyle – a chic, fun and sociable brand with both style and elegant flavour.

‘’Our launch party was a runaway success, and the feedback on Rozél and the signature cocktails served throughout the evening was phenomenal. We’re confident it will become a firm favourite amongst vodka fans and wine lovers alike this summer.’’
Rozél is now available from Amazon and Ocado now for £26 a bottle. To find out more about the brand, visit their social media page.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.
