Vodka ‘Spring’ Liqueurs Gift Set with Rhubarb & Vanilla
and Elderflower by Tipsy Wight
Brand: Tipsy Wight
The Spring collection, which can be enjoyed any time
of the year of course, is a brace of Tipsy Wight Rhubarb and
Vanilla and Elderflower Vodka Liqueurs. Rhubarb and Vanilla is one
of our most popular vodkas, a witty and delightful combination of
home grown rhubarb and fresh vanilla pods. Rhubarb has been used as
a food and in medicine for thousands of years, and has for
centuries grown wild along the banks of the River Volga in Russia,
also known as the Rha, hence the name Rha Barbarum, or foreign
river. In England it was originally known as Russian Rhubarb and
was first eaten in the 17th century when refined sugar became
affordable for the masses. Evocative of inter-war puddings and
jolly hockey sticks school dinners....rhubarb and vanilla is a
delightful combination. We grow several varieties of rhubarb to
give us sweet tender stems from spring through to mid summer. Try
it chilled with friends or as a long drink with lashings of ginger
ale and we guarantee it will break the ice at any gathering.
Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb is also the word repeated on stage to
simulate background conversation and is still taught at RADA today.
We pick our Elderflowers when they are at their absolute best, with
perfect pale cream petals that shimmer on the tree and last less
than a week. This brings out the delicate flavour of this fragile
summer delight. The Elder (Sambucas nigra) is an amazing plant,
steeped in folklore, producing shimmering flowers in the summer
that fill the air with a heady perfume. Legend has it that if you
stand under an Elder tree on midsummer's eve the fairies will
appear, but take care to stay awake or they will carry you off. The
name comes from the Anglo Saxon word Eller, meaning a kindler of
fire: this is because the trunk of the Elder is hollow and was
often used with bellows to stoke a fire. Tipsy Wight Elderflower
Vodka makes a perfect long summer drink served with lemonade, but
for that special occasion try our famous 'Elderbubbles' cocktail,
combining our Elderflower Vodka Liqueur with Prosecco. Includes two
20cl bottles. All natural ingredients. You must be at least 18
