Gooseberry & Lime 1 x 350ML Bottle

Heaven only knows why (the tears of the Almighty are palpable) but gooseberries have so long been overlooked. To the modern ear, they sound archaically Edwardian - the fruit from a Saki story - something to be stood in the corner for not eating at Sunday lunch. 

But they are truly and incontrovertibly the unsung hero of the English kitchen garden. The edgiest, most characterful fruit within it. We were therefore determined to include a recipe trumpeting these prickly bushes in our range of inaugural cordials. And, by jingo, are we glad we did as the result, we think, is a revelation - particularly to those cloyed for decades by spiritless elderflower.

The first sip is sharp and clean, before mellowing into a soft and languorously fruity finish. Gooseberry dominates, but never overwhelms, while lime adds quiet but crucial support. Light, sprightly and bracingly refreshing, this cordial is all about the art of managing the tart. Glorious.
