One of the joys of having an herb shop is the abundance of wonderful products I can create at my finger tips. Like any good cook or artist, having a full pallet of colors or having a pantry full of all the right ingredients allows for creativity to flourish. After creating powerful medicinal tinctures, I have been inspired to create something that stimulates the senses! Something that is delicious and sensuous, something to warm the heart and loosen inhibitions with aromatics that are full and sweet and sumptuous.
I am sooo excited to introduce you to our new line of cordials. These delightful cordials are crafted with sweet spices, pungent herbs, and fresh fruits and berries. In a word.....these are de/lucious!
When I was a little girl my grand mother had the most delicate feather weight cordial snifters. They fit perfectly in our tiny hands . I remember her pouring a scant teaspoon of Drambuie or plum brandy in the bottom of them and we, my brother, sister and I, would dare each other to raise the glass to our mouths. We inhaled the hot vapors of alcohol as it inched up to our mouths. You might be surprised that as children we were given intoxicating beverages, but for us it was ritual and rich in the warmth and sweetness that was held inside the precious glass. (and never enough to do any more than whet our tongue) Our damiana cordials are clearly not meant for children, but they are rich in ritual that still unfolds in maturity. We recommend that you share them with love, desire and a bit of ceremony.
