An Artisan Pod Vodka (made from peas!)

Pod is a unique vodka, in that rather than being made from grain or potatoes, it’s made from British peas. Sweet vegetal peas give a slight citrus notes. You’ve heard of pea pod wine, now you have pea pod vodka!

Perfect as a fresh taste (it tastes like peas) or in a cocktail, this vodka offers something different, while supporting our farmers.

Due to quinine, avoid tonic water for certain medical conditions (liver failure, blood thinners, antibiotics and anti-depressants). Also check medication inserts, before consuming grapefruit or rhubarb drinks.

Unless chopped up, corks are too dense to compost (and choking hazards, if left around). So recycle them at your local off license, or send off in bulk to Recorked.

Vodka is a high-percentage spirit alcoholic drink that is usually made with wheat or potatoes. Rather than buy multi-national big brands, why not try some homegrown artisan brands?

Peas are also nitrogen fixers, so help to regenerate healthy soil. The peas are grown in Suffolk, then distilled and fermented in a copper still in Manchester.

The Pod labels are made from locally-sourced wood-free sandpaper. And the company is even working on turning leftover pea pulp as protein powder.
