At Bug Hill Farm, I grow black currants
and create my concoctions from them because I am truly
mad about their complex flavor, which is a unique combination
of sweet, tart, pungent and savory, layers that unfold
slowly rather than all at once.
While black currant's
health benefits are a nice plus, the white wine, champagne,
vodka and chocolate that Black Currant Cordial has such
an affinity for may result in a wash. So, when mixing
Black Currant Cordial into your own artisanal cocktails,
or pouring Black Currant Cordial over ice cream, custards and
yogurts, you might want to consider drinking most of your
Black Currant Cordial as a tonic diluted in lemonade, seltzer
or water!
