How to Make a Spirit from Birch Water with David Wallwork, Freya

When our guest today, David Wallwork, was naming his birch spirit - only Freya would do. Sustainably sourced and distilled from wild birch tree sap and named for the Norse Goddess of love, life & beauty! If anyone knows anything about the Norse Goddess Freya, they know she has the reputation of being the ‘party girl” of Asgard. She can’t help it if she’s the goddess of nature and fertility.Our Cocktail of the Week is the Freya Spritz:Ingredients10ml Elderflower cordial25ml Freya Birch Spirit50ml Soda Water75ml Good dry white wineFresh lemon and rosemary to garnish - optional.Add the elderflower to a large chilled balloon wine glass & rinse to line the glass.
