Liberty London
I first enjoyed this tasty treat when I was living in London. It was my first Christmas away from home and I found solace when I wandered around Oxford Street admiring every holiday window display. Liberty of London’s in particular was my favourite. While browsing the shoe hall there, eyeing the most decadent and out of my budget footwear, I discovered a shopping event taking place. A server offered me a cocktail and I readily took it. Hello I’m living in a foreign country because I ran away from my problems, please give me a free drink!
The second I tasted this elixir, I imagined myself as an elderly spinster draped in furs talking about my youth. A perfect picture of Ms Havisham. I knew I had found my favourite drink. Needing to know what exactly this magic ingredient was, I chased down the server to find out. Elderflower! I had a vision of myself as an elderly flower, it was kismet.
Belvoir
I went to The Grocery, my local shop in Shoreditch to find this exquisite elderflower cordial and I discovered the , a company based in the Lincolnshire countryside – how British. They create the loveliest cordials, presses, and effervescent drinks. Every one has been a taste sensation and I am SO PLEASED they are launching in Canada! Fingers crossed we get a Whole Foods in Edmonton one day. #daretodream
