Viniq Shimmery Liqueur
This unique spirit is a shimmery combination of vodka, moscato and fruit flavors that form a sweet and tangy liqueur. It mixes well with various fruit juices and is even better with a brut Champagne. We carry three flavors to tantalize your taste buds: Original (peach, berry and citrus), Ruby (red berries) and Glow (peach). However you choose to do yours, there is one directive: shake the bottle first and watch the wonderful sparkly show within.
