HIV is the fastest growing serious health condition in the UK and the money raised will go directly towards our vital work supporting people living with, or affected by HIV.”

• Camitz Sparkling Vodka the exceptionally smooth new Super Premium Vodka from Sweden is the drinks partner of the THT Supper Club. Camitz Sparkling Vodka creates new twists on classic cocktails and guests were treated to sparkling martinis from the Camitz expert mixologists. Sparkling cocktails served included; Camitz Sparkling Lavender Martini, Camitz Sparkling Cosmo Martini, Camitz Pear and Apple Sparkling Martini and a Camitz Classic Martini.  Camitz Sparkling Vodka is 5 times continuously distilled from the finest Swedish wheat and water sourced from the renowned ice-age underground springs of Töllsjö; and the natural source of carbonation is specially filtered for their use. Whilst being the very purest of vodkas available it also benefits from the added smoothness provided by the gentle bubbles which enhance its taste and texture. It is the perfect accompaniment to food during a meal and also works well as a great palate cleanser or as a toast to the evening.
