Why You Should Start Using Jam in Seedlip Cocktails

Now is the time to make the most of British soft fruit. Blackberries and Elderberries are ripening in the hedgerows with Sloes not far behind. Plums are in their prime, while Autumn Raspberries and Strawberries are having a final flourish.

As well as eating these fruits or using them decoratively as garnishes, you can make syrups, cordials, shrubs and jam for cocktail making.

Here, we’ve focused on jam. A British store cupboard staple that allows you to enjoy the seasonal sweetness of soft fruits all through the year. To avoid overly sweet or sickly drinks, each recipe combines the sweet notes of the jam, with sharper notes of citrus for a balanced flavour.
