UK Phantom,

The idea for Lichido was born of our long-standing love for lychees, 
specifically lychee martinis.  The flavor profile came about after several 
hours of trial-and-error around a dining room table, with many different 
liquor-fruit juice combinations and subsequent inebriation.  We engaged a 
French distillery(Compagnie de Guyenne, makers of Meukow Cognac)to reproduce 
the flavor of our final concoction in a liqueur containing cognac and vodka. 
There was much back-and-forthing of samples beteen France and the U.S.,and 
much tweaking until we unanimously deemed the formula perfect. Then came the 
search for the right name and the designing of the bottle, etc. Two years and 
a lot of paperwork later, we finally have our product available on the market. 
Phantom, as much as I'd like to ship Lichido to you, I don't think it's the 
right time for such "transatlantic" activity.  But I thank you very much for 
the offer. Have fun at the Cocktail Jam!!
