The taste of your grannies garden… in a can.

Rhubarb is one of our key seasonal flavours, reminiscent of childhood's spent in allotments and warm puddings on cold evenings. Definitely the lady of the lot; elegant, but likes to party with Gin.

We stock up and produce this each spring around April to May, weather permitting.

After the cold dark months, we start sourcing the best crops from around the UK, strike a deal with a handshake, then race the good stuff back home to our canning plant, in the deepest, darkest Gorbals of Glasgow.

Time is of the essence with raw produce of this grade, so we immediately hand wash every stalk, dry it, then dice ready for the cold infusion process to begin. Leaving the product infusing overnight to slowly draw out all the earthy tones and bright aromas you want to capture from this plant.

Hand crushing Sichuan pepper, also known as pink or ghost pepper, we dust this over the infusion to add a bite and help balance out the flavours over the natural variances and bitterness present in the rhubarb.

Then its time to add the magic; zesting pink grapefruit we candy this in an ancient process to bond the flavours to the oils and finally we whirlpool the whole lot together before filtering and carbonating with freezing cold Scottish freshwater and sealing all the goodness into a can immediately.

Finally, we pasteurise, then hand label with our signature passion, and love.

Owen ★★★★★

My grandma used to make rhubarb crumble every Sunday and this can brings that exact memory flooding back. The fizz is gentle rather than sharp, letting that proper stewed rhubarb flavour come through. Perfect for a cold evening when you want something nostalgic.

Lucy ★★★★★

It genuinely tastes like stewed rhubarb from my nan’s kitchen, not some artificial syrup mess. The can’s small enough to slip into a coat pocket, which made it perfect for a crisp allotment afternoon. I already bought another six.

Isabella A. ★★★★★

The fizz is gentle enough that the rhubarb flavor really comes through, like stewed fruit from a Sunday pudding. I cracked one open after dinner and it nailed that warm, nostalgic feeling without being too sweet.
