GIN
Hyke gin
Foxhole Spirits specialises in sustainable spirits,
distilling drinks from otherwise unused resources.
Its Hyke gin is made with grapes that are surplus to
the requirements of the supermarket supply chain
and would otherwise be wasted. Flavoured with
a blend of botanicals including coriander, myrrh,
rooibos, juniper, cardamom and lemon zest, it takes
some of itslavour inspiration from Africa and South
America, from where the grapes originate. The result
is a silky smooth, clean-tasting gin with a juniper-led
lavour and notes of citrus and spice.
40% ABV, £24 (50cl), Tesco

CORDIAL
Jukes Cordialities
Launched by wine taster and writer
Matthew Jukes, these grown-up cordials
are an alcohol-free alternative to wine
designed to be paired with food. The
addition of apple cider vinegar brings
sharpness and complexity, and keeps
them from being sickly. Each bottle
makes up to three drinks when diluted
with still, sparkling or tonic water.
Available in Jukes 1 (a white alternative)
and Jukes 6
(for red wine
drinkers).
£35 (nine
30ml bottles),

LIQUEUR
Rosebud Preserves
Seville orange marmalade
distilled gin liqueur
Yorkshire-based Rosebud Preserves makes
a mean marmalade, and it’s now available
in liqueur form. Produced with
local small-batch distillery Spirit
of Masham, the liqueur is made
in a traditional copper still and
combines the deep, zesty
lavour of Seville oranges
with gin. The result is like
drinking marmalade (in a
good way!). It’s great on its
own, over ice or with tonic.
20% ABV, £29.95 (35cl),

BEER

Black Sheep riggwelter

This multi-award-winning beer from

Black Sheep Brewery in North Yorkshire

is the perfect partner to our Easter lamb

on page 22. Packed with deep,

roastedlavours and hints of

chocolate, coee and banana,

it’s a fabulous foil for the

robust, earthylavours of the

lamb. It’s also very apt, given

that ‘riggwelter’ is a Yorkshire

Dales sheep-farming term

with Nordic roots – ‘rygg’

means ‘back’ and ‘velte’ is ‘to

overturn’. A sheep is rigged

(or ‘riggwelted’) when it has

rolled onto its back and is

unable to get up without

help – much like the eects

of a strong beer! 5.9% ABV,

£1.83 (500ml bottle), Asda

What we’re

drinking

Our favourite new drinks on the market

Kombucha

Left Field Kombucha, a small

craft brewer from the Scottish

Borders, is one of the latest

additions to the BBC Good

Food Show line-up. Geraint,

a former beer brewer, and wife

Jo began experimenting with

fermentation in their kitchen

in 2016, making their own

kombucha in the process.

The tea-loving pair established

Scotland’sirst kombucha

brewery in Eyemouth, a town

with a history of tea smuggling,

after selling their brew from

kegs at local markets. They now

ship kombucha across the UK.

The pair say ‘the tea is

entirely the star’ – instead of

addinglavours to a base tea

like many kombucha brewers

do, they let the tea ‘do the

talking’. Left Field uses ethically

sourced teas from around

the world, including Chinese

yunnan black and Japanese

green sencha. The drinks

are low in sugar and alcohol-

free, and have many health

beneits. Enjoy with savoury

food or serve as aizzy alcohol

alternative. Find out more

about the Show on page 59.
