Chase : Elderflower Liqueur / Rhubarb Liqueur

Chase : The finest Liqueurs

 A while back I discovered Chase Vodka (see previous post here) 

 Since then, I've been on the look out for other unique spirits in Chase's range. I've now added two of their finest liqueurs to my collection:

 Chase & Elderflower - The finest Elderflower Liqueur

 Chase & Rhubarb - The finest Rhubarb Liqueur

 Both are made using Chase Vodka - the finest potato vodka in the world, with the addition of the true rich flavours that come from Chase's beautifully ripened and carefully selected fresh fruit. There are no artificial flavours nor heat methods. They are the perfect compliment to champagne or cocktails.

 I came across these new additions to my liqueur cabinet whilst over discovering Borough Market and the surrounding area. Laithwaite's Wine is a cavernous wine cellar stocked full of interesting wines, champagnes and spirits. 

The spirit section at the back quickly drew my attention, mainly due to the vast amounts of interesting spirits piled high on tall wooden shelves...

 I'll be back at Laithewaite's Wine soon to stock up on some more interesting spirits, and make some inspiring cocktails too.

Chase Vodka : Coconut Martini

Coconut Martini : Made using English 'Chase' Vodka, and Coconut Water

 Chase Vodka is a British distilled vodka, made in Hertfordshire using potatoes. It was awarded the rather prestigious title of 'Best In The World' in 2010.
 

 My friend Shelley (of 'Trakehners Can Jump' fame) gave me a stunning gift boxed bottle of Chase Vodka, and I've been waiting to find a suitable cocktail to try it in.

 I picked up some 'Jax Coco' water (The chicest Coconut water on the market - with the bottle designed by Stella McCartney's husband Alasdhair Willis) and set about making a 'Coconut Martini'

 The simplicity of this cocktail is genius:
 Pour 125ml 'Jax Coco' 100% pure coconut water, over ice in a cocktail shaker, add 50ml of 'Chase Vodka' and a splash of lemon juice. Shake, and strain to serve into a chilled martini glass.
 The result is a fresh, smooth, light and delicious Martini.
