Back in the olden days, before genetically modified fruits and veggies overtook the market, people didn't have the luxury of eating fresh produce all winter long. Instead they preserved their harvest so they could enjoy the fresh flavors of summer during the coldest months of the year. And luckily for us, Belvoir Fruit Farms is still using those traditional techniques to bring us these aromatic concentrates that are completely natural and delightfully flavored with elderberry flowers. These fragrant fruit and flower cordials are excellent when splashed into a glass of sparkling water or when mixed with gin or vodka.
InStyle Magazine also wrote about our line of botanic cordials in this month's issue and listed our phone number, but oddly enough, they made no mention of The Dep itself. So if you're looking for Belvoir Cordials, be sure to stop by or give us a shout so you can try one of our favorite products.
With all the heavy foods that are so often eaten during this time of year, it's nice to switch it up and sip on something that's super bright and refreshing; something that won't weigh you down, but instead lifts you up. That's why we love this refreshing cocktail that uses fruity pear and eldlerflower presse, florally gin, and earthy thyme. It's a cocktail that you can sip on year round, although we like it best during the chilly nights of winter.
1. Combine gin, leaves from one sprig of thyme, and soda in a shaker with a few pieces of ice. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds, and strain into a glass. Finish with one large ice cube and garnish with a sprig of thyme.
How about a fancy drink?
Here's a recipe for our new favorite gin drink, made with Belvoir Farms Elderflower Cordial: to mix one, combine equal parts Hendrick's (or another floral gin) and elderflower cordial over ice, top with soda water, and garnish with a lemon slice. What better way to start your weekend?
