The Happiest Drink in the World in NYC?

June 5, 2013 6:49 PM

Where can I get Babycham in NYC? Either by the glass in a bar, or for purchase by the bottle. Mail order is fine, too. I'm not looking for any substitutes or similar products... I want the prancing deer!

They don't list it on their site as available, but I bet Bierkraft in Brooklyn can help.

There is a British specialty store on Hudson between Horatio and Jane called "Myers of Keswick." They sell every weird little thing you remember from the UK. I am not sure if they have a license to sell wine/beer, but if anyone would know where to get Babycham, it's them.

PS- That stuff is *nasty.* But that's also true of Heinz beans and Marmite.

Babycham is owned by Accolade Wines. You can search their North American website for distributors by zip code. Putting in a Manhattan zip code brings up two distributors in NJ:

- Allied Beverage (HQ) 600 Washington Ave Carlstadt, NJ 800-313-6767
- R&R Marketing (HQ) 10 Patton Drive West Caldwell, NJ 973-228-5100

Whether they stock Babycham or not - which is doubtful - is another matter but they might be able to point you the right way.

How about Babycham liquors in Hobe Sound, FL? They stock it, call them and see if they'll ship it to you.
