WILD BULLACE LIQUEUR NEWLY LAUNCHED
Demijohn
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee has seen the birth of a traditional British drink from a little known hedgerow fruit, which after years has finally produced enough fruit to make a delicious liqueur. Wild Bullace Liqueur has arrived in the Demijohn shops and will delight cocktail connoisseurs.
To celebrate the Jubilee Demijohn created an amazing cocktail – Wild Plum Bellini. Building on the idea of an original Venetian Bellini, Demijohn developed a truly British cocktail to be sipped throughout the summer. One measure of Wild Bullace Liqueur is poured into a champagne flute and topped up with Prosecco and fresh plum puree and garnished with mint.
Similar to a damson, the Bullace is a variety of plum and its deep colour, rich, dry fruit have meant it makes a superb liqueur when steeped in gin. Produced in Worcestershire by the Hingstons Demijohn believes this is the only Wild Bullace fruit liqueur in existence. Bullace happens to grow in abundance in good years on the Hingstons neighbouring farm and they experimented and created this unusual liqueur.
Given the unpredictability of wild fruit it has taken them years to gather enough to make some Wild Bullace Liqueur. Demijohn has been lucky to get its hands on a few demijohns of it, but buy it quickly before it runs out. It has a damson-like fruity taste with a very slight bitter twist and pleasant dryness and is delicious drunk after dinner, from a hip flask or as the basis to a cocktail.
Angus Ferguson from Demijohn said: “
At Demijohn we are always on for a celebration and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee was no exception. This new Wild Plum Bellini is the ultimate British cocktail for any picnic. We are fervent about using hedgerow fruits and flowers to produce original and delicious drinks and our Wild Bullace Liqueur is exactly the type of fruit liqueur we love and as well as drinking it can be used as the basis for sauces and cocktails.”
