Discover the Shrub Collection from Big Nose and Beardy, featuring two distinct non-alcoholic aperitivos: the Botanical Shrub and the Apple Shrub. Both are rooted in a traditional recipe, starting with raw apple cider vinegar made from vintage cider.
The process begins with natural re-fermentation, converting all alcohol into acetic acid. This vinegar is then matured for an impressive eight years before being infused or blended.
- The Botanical Shrub is infused with hedgerow bitters and botanicals, brightened with a hint of lemon.
- The Apple Shrub is blended with pasteurised apple juice for a smoother finish.
Enjoy these shrubs mixed with sparkling water and ice (around a 1:7 ratio, or to your taste) for a refreshing and sophisticated drink. They also make excellent additions to cocktails and salad dressings.
Each bottle provides 20 x 25ml servings and is suitable for vegans. You may notice some sediment and the presence of the ACV 'mother' in the bottles; this is natural and will continue to develop without affecting the flavour.
How to use: Mix with sparkling water and ice (around 1:7 ratio) or use in cocktails and salad dressings. Storage: Once open, keep cool and dark and use within a year.
About Big Nose and Beardy
Big Nose and Beardy specialises in producing authentic Sussex cider, offering a refreshing alternative to mass-produced beverages. Their focus on traditional methods and natural fermentation addresses the desire for enjoyable drinks made with transparency and care for their environmental impact.
What sets Big Nose and Beardy apart is their dedication to a closed-loop production system. They source the majority of their apples from local private gardens and orchards, hand-picking them with the help of volunteers. Their pressing process is powered by a combination of solar, water, and human energy, ensuring minimal reliance on external power sources.
Further demonstrating their commitment to sustainability, the apple pomace remaining after pressing is fed to local pigs and cows, effectively eliminating waste and enriching the local ecosystem. Their packaging, including metal bottle caps, lightweight glass bottles, and cardboard cases, is fully recyclable, reflecting a holistic approach to environmental responsibility from orchard to consumer.
