Rhubarb Tea Liqueur is an 80-proof spirit that's a blend of rhubarb, lemon, and beets, along with spices like cardamom, pink peppercorns, and coriander. It has a slight sweetness to it and a very subtle pink color. As for what to do with it? Mixed with just a little soda water, it makes a light early-evening drink. We've also made an interesting twist on a margarita with tequila, grapefruit juice, and splash of the Rhubarb Tea Liqueur.
The traditional recipe for Lebkuchen, or ginger snap, was invented by German monks in the 12th century and first appeared in America in the late 1600s when German Anabaptists sought religious freedom in the New World. These settlers were rustic farmers and baked with hearty blackstrap molasses rather than refined sugar, which at the time was considered unsophisticated by the English settlers. However, blackstrap molasses retains the natural characteristics that usually get stripped away by the refining process, and provides the distinctive, earthy flavors that were desired. Inspired by the Lebkuchen recipe, Snap Organic Liqueur is created from blackstrap molasses, clove, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, rooibos tea, vanilla and pure cane sugar. The result is a complex, highly aromatic liqueur that offers sweet aromas of sugar, vanilla and freshly-baked gingerbread, and a rich, full bodied palate laden with bold notes of baking spice and ginger. Enjoy neat as a digestif, or experiment in bourbon or rye cocktails.
With Sage, Art In the Age have another achievement of wonderful flavor. The idea traces back to Bernard McMahon’s “American Garden Journal” from 1806. Seems McMahon was the father of New World Gardening and with his writings he taught settlers of the 130 plants discovered by Lewis and Clark in their expedition. Sage is crafted using 16 flavors that popped up in McMahon’s Journal as a tribute to the man who was a mentor to Thomas Jefferson, along with—just about—every US gardener in the 19th Century. This “Garden Spirit”, as it is being classified, is based on an early American practice of making your own infusions from your garden. Every family had their own spin, based on preference and what was locally available. So for the fourth Art in the Age is a twist on this “garden spirit” using edible botanicals recorded by McMahon and grown by Jefferson, as always, it is responsibly harvested and 100% Organic. The aromas burst with astonishing scents of forest floor, chamomile, flowers, mountain side and a herb garden that you are dragging your hand through; the aromas are HUGE. The flavors do not disappoint, big, lyrical repeats of the aromas in a sultry palate demonstration that is creamy, evolved, complex and lingering. The finish lays down a field of byzantine, clean herbs that fade delicately. Try this as a chilled shot or as a swaggering vodka or gin substitute in a myriad of cocktails and savor it!
