Delicious, hand-crafted artisan liquers from Kingsworthy near Winchester

The Winchester-based team at the Whimsical Forager creates a range of exceptional botanical liqueurs distilled in 200 litre alembic copper stills to ensure their production is controlled to perfection.

They process whole fresh fruit through a centripetal juicer to an amazing pulp and then marry it with spirit distillate and herb macerates to augment the flavours.

The result is finely balanced liqueurs that are simply delicious with no artificial sweeteners, colouring or flavourings

These are hand-crafted artisan liqueurs that both celebrate and elevate “classics”, designed to be sipped, served over ice, mixed with Prosecco or served long with a favourite mixer. They can also be enjoyed long as frozen cocktails.

The range includes lemon and basil, orange and tarragon, and nettle, honey and ginger in along with seasonal special additions. You can buy their range online through their website – and look out for them at festivals and shows to buy a bottle or enjoy a glass.

Lemon & Basil

A medium bodied alternative to Limoncello, delivers freshly zested lemons, galvanised by a twist of basil in order to balance and taper sweetness.

Two and half lemons in each bottle, result in a sophisticated juicy delight.

Orange & Tarragon

Orange & Tarragon elevates traditional orange liqueur with the clever twist of fresh tarragon bringing bitter sweet notes of anise to balance the zesty orange.

Marmalade orange balanced by vibrant tarragon – a wonderful marriage.

Nettle, Honey & Ginger

Nettle, Honey & Ginger marries the grassy herbaceous notes of nettle with the warming softness and citrus flavours of natural honey & ginger to perfect effect and balance.

Bundles of seasonal nettles add earthy vibrancy to this elegant and versatile liquid.
