I make gorgeous fruit liqueurs from home grown or locally foraged ingredients. I grow much of the fruit in my East London garden or in my brother's orchard in Cumbria. Sloes and elderflowers are gathered from wild spaces around East London. Walthamstow Marshes, the River Lea and Epping Forest are all my hunting grounds.
Using my mother's family recipe fruit and flowers are steeped in spirit for a year to create an intensely flavoured liqueur. I am a genuinely tiny producer (just me!) and make small amounts dependent on what I have grown or foraged. The flavour of the liqueur changes in relation to sun, rain and soil, so taste and colour is unique to each batch. Availability is often seasonal and can be limited.
I sell online from my website and from my shop The East London Gin Palace in Wood St Market. I am open for business and chat about gin and other related matters on Thurs, Fri and Saturdays.
