Gattertop Drinks is an award-winning brand of seasonal vodkas from beautiful Herefordshire. By using ingredients found in the county’s disappearing orchards, it’s helping to preserve them for use in fruit crumbles and vodkas, rather than land being used for urban buildings. This in turn supports habitats of local wildlife.
Tonic water contains quinine, so check medication (also for rhubarb/grapefruit tonic waters) or use soda water instead as a mixer. Quinine should also be avoided for pregnancy/nursing. But hopefully you won’t be drinking vodka anyway?
The founder spent her childhood wandering the hills, woods and farmland of the family estate, and was determined to create a brand that had a part in preserving them. Her family’s farm dates back to 1086, standing in a valley whose orchards have borne fruits for thousands of years. These vodkas make use of homegrown fruits and botanicals, for unique taste in each glass.
Classic Vodka No.1 is made with repurposed steeped damson and organic windfall apples from the estate’s abundant orchards, for a crisp vodka with creamy biscuit and honey notes. Perfect on the rocks.
Damson Vodka is an ideal autumn tipple. The damsons are steeped for 12 months, giving flavours of plum, almond and marzipan.
Botanical Vodka is fresh and herby, infused with elderflower, apple blossom, damson leaves, nettles, rosemary, basil and coriander.
