SEEING RED
Award winning cider maker
Sandford Orchards has launched
Jubilee Limited Edition Devon
Red Cider. It is a celebration
of all things British and the
perfect thirst-quencher for any
festivities and celebrations. It
is created from British apples
grown and pressed in Devon,
using traditional methods, at
the oldest working cider mill in
the UK. The cider (ABV 4.5%) is
a perfectly balanced, refreshing
medium cider. It is a naturally
tasty and utterly delicious fresh
apple cider created from British
apples grown in orchards rooted
in the rich, red, fertile soil which
surrounds Sandford Orchards.
Founded in 2002, independent,
family-owned Sandford Orchards
is based in Crediton, an area
long known as one of the most
fertile parishes in all of Britain,
both for its grazing and ability
to grow apples. Crediton sits in
the lee of the moors, so receives
the right amount of rain and the
right units of heat in summer.
500ml bottles RRP £2.30 from
outlets including Aldi, Morrisons,
Spar and as well as selected pubs
and hospitality venues and from

Edwards 1902, the award-winning,
premium English potato vodka -

Rhubarb Vodka. Edwards 1902
English Rhubarb Vodka is 'summer

juice from the famous Yorkshire
Rhubarb Triangle. A perfect
summer tipple, make the most of
the longer evenings to celebrate
with friends. Edwards 1902 Rhubarb

with vibrant pressed rhubarb juice,
resulting in a smooth, fruity vodka
for use neat, over ice or in cocktails.
Furthermore, each bottle of Edwards
1902 English Rhubarb Vodka contains

juice. The vodka is distilled at the
Elsham Wold Distillery, a stone's
throw away from where the first
King Edwards potato was cultivated
in 1902. Committed to supporting
local, Edwards grow their potatoes
and source their Rhubarb within
the county, as well as working with
a Yorkshire glass supplier for their
bespoke bottle; controlling the
production process of their spirits
'from soil to spirit'.
