Created by Spearhead Spirits the team behind Vusa Vodka, Sango Agave, Mansas Whisky and Bayab Gin, the African company reshaping the global drinks industry, Patch answers a simple question: why shouldn’t cocktails be as portable as a beer, as stylish as a spirit, and as delicious as your favourite bar serve?

Patch is here to change that, it’s cocktails without compromise, designed for good times, wherever they happen,” explains Chris Frederick, Director at Spearhead Spirits.
