This Diwali, celebrate the festival of lights with a gift that combines tradition, craftsmanship, and individuality. Quro, India’s first liqueur of its kind, is more than just a drink, it’s an artisanal expression of heritage and bold character, perfect for sharing moments of togetherness.

Crafted from 36 carefully selected ingredients sourced from across India, including vibrant fruits, fragrant flowers, and ancient herbs and spices, Quro is smooth yet complex, familiar yet intriguingly new. Whether raising a toast to new beginnings or enjoying festive gatherings, Quro offers a refreshingly unique gifting experience.

The bottle itself tells a story of culture, care, and creativity. Elegant packaging, inscribed with ‘Quro’ in multiple Indian scripts, celebrates the country’s rich diversity, while its versatile flavour profile makes it ideal for sipping neat, as a spritz, or in signature serves like the Quro Qrisp.

“Gifting Quro isn’t just about celebration; it’s about honouring tradition, togetherness, and the spirit of Diwali with something thoughtfully crafted and truly original,” says the team at Inspired Spirits.
