Regular price
$14.00
- 250mL
- Flavour Profile: A refreshing blend of our black amber plum, locally made red wine vinegar with the gentle flavour of our handpicked English lavender variety, called Pacific blue.
- Characteristics: Delicately floral with a rich, fruity undertone, striking a perfect balance between the soothing lavender and the juicy plum.
- Making the Shrub: Born out of severe drought came the idea of the plum and lavender shrub, and the resulting decision on which lavender varieties to plant after the rains had come, we chose a culinary lavender. We wanted to utilise what we were already growing on the farm as well as product derived from local growers.
- It was an inspired selection to add the delicately floral flavours of lavender to the plum infused Vinegar.
- Suggested Uses:-
- Cocktails: Elevate your mixology with a Lavender Plum Martini or a Plum-Lavender Gin Fizz.
- Mocktails: Create a refreshing Lavender Plum Sparkler or a Plum Lavender Lemonade
-
Culinary: Use as a glaze for roasted meats, drizzle over desserts, or incorporate into vinaigrettes for salads.
