Phillips Lovage
(Alcoholic Cordial)

This is extremely difficult to find in stock. It is a beautiful warming winter drink when mixed with Brandy. 2 parts lovage to 1 part Brandy.

5.3% ABV doesn''t even count as a strong beer. What happened to the lovage I remember from my youth, which I think must have been at least 20% ABV?

It has the visage of dusty bottle destined for the back of the drinks cabinet, however, my father in law banged on about a fond memory of getting piddled on a boating trip with this, so I thought I''d buy him some and ended up drinking it all myself. With brandy it tastes not very far off a French 75, and that aint bad at all; add a squeeze of lemon and you''re only short the fizz, a new/old hit for the collection.

We love it with brandy

This really is one underrated mixer. Try it with ANY brandy and it will transform it. Try it also with rum; it will take off the rawness to provide a smooth yet full flavoured tipple. The Devon herb & spice mix complements but does not challenge the base drink. Highly, highly recommended.
