Over 200 years ago across the Kingdom of Prussia, the Two Sicilies and the Austrian Empire, a drink was cherished and imbibed by the wealthy and titled elite at their celebrations and grand balls. The drink had a unique flavour and colour and was completely natural. It’s ingredients were sourced from exotic locations and included the coveted Attar of Rose from the East that gave it its unique nose and taste. The drink remained a firm favourite all the way through to the roaring 1920s, but disappeared with the Second World War and the rise of Communism.

Following the fall of Communism and the reopening of Eastern Europe, curators began to unravel the fascinating history of this exclusive drink. After years of work by dedicated artisans the long lost recipe was reborn and Lanique was relaunched.

LANIQUE’S WAITED 200 YEARS FOR YOU, NOW IT’S TIME.

The latest chapter in the Lanique story began when Lanique was purchased by Jersey entrepreneur Lawrence Huggler. Now, his single aim is to make Lanique accessible to all and allow as many people as possible to discover the unique and fantastic taste as he did for the first time ten years ago.

“I was introduced to this amazing drink in the summer of 2003. It was virtually unknown and was sitting quietly just waiting to be rediscovered. It took me eight years to wake up to the opportunity right in front of me and a further two years to broker the deal for Lanique. Since the purchase, we have redesigned the bottle and brand to reflect its rich history and are now working hard to introduce Lanique to new markets to share this amazing and delectable drink.”
