LIZ BAKER Wilkin & Sons of Tiptree

Last year Wilkin & Sons of Tiptree launched a rather fine Christmas Pudding Rum which went down an absolute storm with customers (me included). This is the very essence of Christmas in a bottle.

Liz Baker, marketing manager at Tiptree, explains: ‘Initially we launched it as a limited edition, but people have enjoyed it right throughout this past year. It’s available to purchase via our website, plus in all of our shops and many of our retail outlets.’

This year you might also want to sample some of Wilkin & Sons’ English Raspberry gin liqueur.

‘It’s made with the raspberries grown on our farm. In fact, all of our drinks have a Tiptree element to them. We use either our homegrown fruit or one of our products. The raspberry liqueur is ideal at this time of year in a glass of Prosecco or Champagne as it makes a lovely, festive Raspberry Royal. There’s just enough of a sweet, fruity tang to cut through the fizz.’

Liz also suggests you try offering your guests a special Tiptree-inspired, salted caramel martini.

‘We sell a salted caramel vodka using our Tiptree salted caramel spread. Basically, you make the martini by mixing ice, Tiptree salted caramel spread and our salted caramel vodka. It’s really rather nice.’
