‘The story of desi daru vodka’

the story starts with our founders mohit & Aneet.

Desi Daru was born from our shared journey as British-born Indians. Raised on the aromas of fresh spices, the rhythms of Bollywood, and values of India at home — and immersed in the fast-paced energy of Britain outside — we’ve always lived between two cultures. Our parents arrived in the UK with nothing but determination, building a future from the ground up. This beautiful contrast — between deep-rooted tradition and contemporary ambition — became the inspiration behind Desi Daru.

CULTURE DISTILLED: THE FINEST ALPHONSO MANGO VODKA

Our Alphonso Mango Vodka is inspired by cherished memories of Indian mango season - a time of joy, celebration, and indulgence. We use only real, sun-ripened Alphonso mangoes, known as the “king of mangoes”, naturally infused without artificial flavours or shortcuts. Each bottle features a golden-orange gradient that mimics the mango’s ripening process — a visual and flavourful tribute to tradition, craftsmanship, and the fruits of our culture. It’s vibrant, tropical, and unmistakably Desi Daru.

PREMIUM VODKA EXPERTLY CRAFTED FROM ENGLISH WINTER WHEAT

We set out to create a vodka that’s genuine and authentic as our own story. Our Original Vodka is made using the finest English winter wheat, chosen for its purity and smooth character. Distilled in a custom-built 46-plate column still, we refine every batch to an extraordinary 96% ABV before gently cutting it to strength. The result is a vodka of exceptional smoothness, clarity, and depth — elegant and versatile, perfect for sipping or mixing into any cocktail.

BUILDING A BRAND THAT CELEBRATES BOTH OUR CULTURES

Desi Daru is more than vodka — it’s an expression of who we are. It carries the warmth of Indian summers and the energy of London nights. A seamless blend of heritage and ambition, where timeless tradition meets bold innovation. From the ingredients we use to the stories we tell, our vodka celebrates British-Indian identity. Our name itself, Desi Daru, meaning “local spirit" — honours our roots, community, and cultural pride. This isn’t just vodka. It’s a story in a bottle.
