Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - May/June 2023 (Issue 43)

Raise a non-alcoholic toast to summer weddings with Luscombe’s special-limited edition Rose & Cherry Bubbly. It’s a sparkling blend of organic rose and cherries, naturally sweetened with muscat grape and finished with Sicilian lemons and soft Devon spring water. Awarded a Royal Warrant in 2021, in recognition of their products which are enjoyed by the Royal Households, Luscombe took inspiration from the rose featured in the coronation emblem when crafting Rose & Cherry Bubbly. Gently sparkling, the exquisite bubbly balances the sweet-tartness and burst of cherries beautifully with the delicate floral notes of the rose. The quintessential fizz is superbly served chilled on its own, or with a premium spirit and citrus garnish. Extremely versatile, it’s delightfully paired with an array of dishes including summer tarts, creamy soft cheeses and charcuterie as well as fruity desserts. Like all the drinks in Luscombe’s range, it contains no artificial additives, sweeteners or concentrates and is gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Limitededition Rose & Cherry Bubbly joins Luscombe’s other bubblies in their portfolio including Strawberry Bubbly, Wild Elderflower Bubbly and Damascene Rose Bubbly. Rose & Cherry Bubbly can be purchased from www.luscombe.co.uk in single-serving bottles (12x27cl bottles, £26.50). Luscombe’s range of organic soft drinks, fruit juices, crushes, bubblies, tonic waters and mixers plus a traditional organic Devon cider is the very essence of spring and summer. They have been producing beautifully crafted drinks on a farm in Devon since 1975 with founder and owner, Gabriel David, having become renowned for his pursuit of perfection and a no-compromise approach to creating an elegant and multi-award-winning range of drinks that use the very finest organic ingredients and Dartmoor spring water. There’s also the new Rhubarb Crush now available, crafted to be enjoyed as a soft drink or mixer. Luscombe Rhubarb Crush is a lightly sparkling blend of organic Rhubarb, Madagascan vanilla and soft Devon spring water. It’s fresh and bright, with the tartness of the rhubarb tempered by the soft sweetness of vanilla. As well as organic rhubarb juice, the ingredients of this gently sparkling drink include organic blueberry juice, organic Madagascan vanilla extract and organic lemon oil. Its colour is subtle yet eye-catching, an enchanting soft pink. With a calorie count of fewer than 60 calories per bottle, it’s one for all to savour. Exquisite in mocktails and cocktails and served well chilled, Luscombe Rhubarb Crush is a delightful alternative to champagne or prosecco and a beautiful accompaniment with food. When drink pairing with a meal, the general rule is to choose the fruit ingredient that partners best with what you’re eating. On this principle, refreshing Luscombe Rhubarb Crush is delicious as an accompaniment to rich-tasting foods such as pork, duck and oily fish as well as spicy cuisines, such as Asian.
