Edinburgh Gin Rhubarb and Ginger Liqueur, 50cl

Product Information

Other garnishes- We like to use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of rhubarb stalk and use them for garnish. You can also use a lemon wedge, mint sprig or even chamomile flowers. Combine rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer on medium low heat for about 20 minutes. Once rhubarb is mushy, remove from heat. That’s not to say that the Hortus liqueur doesn’t mix well: oh, but it does. I’ve had it with the classic Bundaberg Ginger Beer (which I can’t praise enough) and the Fever Tree Aromatic Tonic Water, both of which worked marvelously with the liqueur for different reasons. This Fever Tree Tonic Water in particular matched the liqueur as it has a crisp freshness and a slight bitterness from the Angostura bark which offset the sweetness of the liqueur to leave you with a more well rounded gin and tonic experience. For an added bonus, the tonic water and the liqueur are both pink, and that’s just fun.

This dish’s flavor is enhanced by the combination of rhubarb, ginger, and lemon zest, which makes it slightly spicy. To extract the color and flavor, all of these ingredients must be steeped in liquor for three weeks. It’s also possible to try the delicious Homemade Elderflower Gin if you like the taste of it. Taste The Tart & Spicy Refreshment Of Rhubarb Gin! Usually, I avoid rhubarb and ginger gins because I find the ginger overpowering, instead opting for juicy rhubarb gins like Warner’s and Whitley Neill.

Over the past several years, we have watched and waited as numerous retailers have begun crafting their own-label gins. These gins are known to be affordable, and they match the needs of the retailers’ desired target market. It’s warming yet bright and summery, and most importantly, still tastes like a gin, with the juniper notes cutting through the bold flavour profile, which can often become diluted in a fruit spirit. Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK says: “We are extremely proud to have received the highest possible accolade for our own brand spirits. Now more than ever, we want to show that low prices don’t mean compromising on quality or taste.”

The gin should be a neutral, mid range one – don’t go for one that already has flavours in, and don’t worry if it is not the highest quality.

This drink is perfect for cold winter evenings or long summer days – you can drink it all year round and it will still taste delicious!
