Already well-known for its ready-to-drink cocktails, Straightaway entered the Amaro and liqueur space with its award-winning Accompani line. The name is derived from the words companion and accompany as a nod to enjoy in the company of others – although celebrating the end of the week with a well-made Spritz, while solo in the backyard, is a great option.
