Innovatus Drinks acquires spirits brand Sollasa – adding to its Portfolio for Faster Reactions to Consumer Habits.

Sollasa burst on to the UK drinks scene in July 2021, and has caused much excitement with its unique proposition: a light refreshing spirit with mandarin, lychee and cardamom, that goes deliciously with food.

Sollasa is a 20% ABV spirit-based aperitif, making it versatile for cocktail-making: from a simple serve with tonic to more adventurous mixology. It’s lower ABV and delicate blend of Indian-inspired flavours make it an excellent drink to pair with Pan-Asian food.  

Innovatus Drinks has been proactive in adapting to new strategies in the industry, including strategic partnerships with music festivals and previous purchases with brands like Willem Barentsz Gin and Pedrino Spritz. These endeavors have not only reduced operational expenses but have also enabled the company to benefit from the network effect of a diversified portfolio of exciting brands.

As part of this acquisition, we are delighted that Vishal Patel will be joining the advisory panel at Innovatus Drinks.

Vishal Patel, co-founder of Sollasa, expressed enthusiasm about joining forces with Innovatus Drinks, affirming, “We are delighted to partner with Innovatus Drinks for the next phase of Sollasa’s growth. Sajag (co-founder) and I have loved every step of the journey so far; from starting with an idea on a page during lockdown, developing the liquid in our kitchen, creating a beautifully designed bottle to selling it in bars and restaurants nationwide. We are very excited for Innovatus Drinks to help take our vision for pairing great tasting food with great tasting drinks to more consumers and new markets.“
