Bold, powerful and always on target — just like the man himself!

Harry Kane doesn’t do anything by halves, and neither does this drink.

It’s assertive, it’s full of character, and it delivers every single time. Just like a Kane penalty — you always know it’s going in. Named in honour of England’s all-time leading scorer, this one is the first drink you should be mixing when the tournament kicks off!
