There’s a new aperitif on the market just in time for those hazy Summer evenings that we are all dreaming of and can almost imagine in this current clime. Last week I got to try a sample.
Staying true to it’s British heritage, the list of botanical ingredients is reminiscent of all the goodies one could forage on countryside walk; berries, nuts, roots, leaves and flowers to name but a fraction.

Alex described it as being between a Gin and a Campari and although I’m not much of a Gin-person, I have to say this was delicious and went down particularly well with his suggestion of a bitter lemon. I know what I will be drinking this Summer…
