Here is one that is starting to find some popularity. Ti-Toki liqueur made in New Zealand. It uses titoki berries, kawakawa and manuka leaves for flavor. 37% proof. Sweet finish that reminds me of Licor 43 or Nassau Royal. The sucker aint cheap though. It's sold in the 500ml hand glazed tekoteko crock with paua inlayed eyes, or glass bottle. Thankfully my sister lives in NZ and brought it to me. Around $60USD. The tekoteko crock comes with a cork inserted in the top. You have to pull it with a cork screw, but they supply a cork stopper top.

The company has a recipe on the box that is good. One part Ti-Toki and three parts ginger beer. It's pleasant and refreshing.

Their web site has other recipes found here

Here is my Tekoteko keeping the evil spirits (Barcardi) away from my bar.

If you know someone who is in NZ or visiting try and get it, other wise the shipping from NZ might be to stiff for most.
