Cordials now for sale at Country Basket on Thomas Street

There is a fab new food shop in Limerick city centre on Thomas Street, The Country Basket. Opened just three weeks the shop is choc full of fresh veggies, freshly baked crusty bread, local preserves, cheeses, hams, chocolate, coffee and all manner of good things. Lucky me has delivered a box of Elder Lemon Cordials, Rhubarb and Lemonade, to the shop and they are now on sale there. 

When the rain stops I'll get a nice photo of the shop!!

Elder Lemon cordials, now available in Rene Cusacks, Alphonsus Street

Things at Elder Lemon HQ have been hotting up since the cordials first met the public at the great summer market in No.1 Pery Square Hotel two weeks ago.

The cordials are all made by me, using only fresh and local fruit and flowers. Elderflower season has passed so anybody wanting more of that will have to wait until next year. But Elderberries will be along soon so watch this space.......

For now my two flavours are Rhubarb, a big hit as Irish people love the taste of rhubarb but can't get it anywhere but as a tart or under a bowl of custard. Rhubarb won't be around all year either so get it while you can. 

Rene Cusacks is on Alphonsus Street and Doney is a champion of all things local. As well as fab fish you can get fresh, local veggies, eggs and other goodies, and cordials too!
