Experimenting with recipes.

One of the most popular fruits we use is Rhubarb. Our Rhubarb Gin and our Rhubarb Vodka are both always in demand , so we wondered whether it would make a good liqueur too.

We make all of our liqueurs the traditional French way, by soaking the fruit in wine first. So we’ve started by soaking a batch of Rhubarb in a light wine for a while. We’ll move on to the liqueuring process and see what happens.

Next step is to test it with some critical friends to see what they think. They are always honest - that’s why we recruited them. Based on their feedback we’ll modify it and then take a sample batch to our next event and ask customers for their thoughts. If it passes all those tests, we’ll design a label and make a full batch for sale.

We follow this process for any new flavour ideas. The combination of our critical friends and our customers, ensures that we have given each potential new product, a thorough trial. Here’s a few that didn’t make it: Apricot Vodka, Pear Vodka and Fruits of the Forest Liqueur.

If you’ve got ideas you’d like to see us explore, then do please get in touch via our contact form or social media. We’d really love to hear from you.
