Pocketful of Stones – Pen Sans Summer Cup 25% ABV 70cl

Another one of our seasonal products. Our fruit cup is a product of the seasons and the changes therein. We only produce this fruit cup when strawberries are in season. Usually the first week in April in Cornwall. The April Summer Cup is a celebration of Strawberries. Later in the summer gooseberries and raspberries come available and they will be incorporated into the recipe. Towards the end of the summer it will be black berries, blueberries and cherries. The recipe stays the same but the ingredients will change. Mirroring the Cornish summer. 

THE LIQUID SUNSHINE

The drink that changes with the summer.

This is the quintessential drink of the summer throughout the British Isles – think picnics in the park, Wimbledon, and strawberries and cream.

We only make our Summer Cup when the Cornish weather starts to warm, and the first of the soft fruits start to appear. Strawberries are always the first, around April, making the first few batches very strawberry heavy.
Next, gooseberries and raspberries start to ripen, and they get included in our recipe. Towards the end of the summer, it is the blueberries and blackberries that are at their best, so they, too, are embraced.

Our distillate stays the same, but the ingredients we use reflect the changing British summer and therefore make every bottle unique.
