Dark damsons softened with raw honey create a cordial of genuine depth. This is a fragrant, intensely flavoured drink born from a single afternoon in the kitchen—when Anthony baked damsons in local raw honey for breakfast, leaving behind a pool of golden, perfumed syrup. Mixed with lemon juice and sparkling water, it became something worth preserving.
The fruit comes from a Merryweather Damson tree planted in the garden years ago, a variety once widely grown across Ireland and the UK. This season's heavy crop yielded damsons with that unmistakable character: blue-black skin with a powdery bloom, juicy flesh, and a distinctive astringent bite. The cordial pairs this with raw Irish honey and organic Verna lemons sourced directly from small-scale Mediterranean growers through CrowdFarming—a platform connecting us with second- and third-generation farmers committed to organic cultivation.
Unlike syrups, cordials contain both citrus and a pinch of sea salt to heighten flavour and balance sweetness. The result is a drink that tastes as considered as its origins: the tang of damson, the richness of honey, and the brightness of lemon working together. Over time, the cordial may gently ferment, creating tiny natural bubbles—simply shake the bottle before pouring.
Available as a 250ml glass bottle with a natural cork for daily use, or presented as a Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper inspired by the Wexford food story and nestled in the signature black box.
