"The edible capsules are 23ml in size, fully biodegradable and provide the perfect flavour-explosion experience. Enjoying them is simple, the capsules are popped in the mouth for an instant burst of flavour, and the capsule is simply swallowed.”

The limited-production pods are being served as an amuse-bouche during London’s celebration of cocktail innovations, which run until October 13.
