Notes Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK says: “We are extremely proud to have received the highest possible accolade for our own brand spirits. Now more than ever, we want to show that low prices don’t mean compromising on quality or taste.” The gin should be a neutral, mid range one – don’t go for one that already has flavours in, and don’t worry if it is not the highest quality. This dish’s flavor is enhanced by the combination of rhubarb, ginger, and lemon zest, which makes it slightly spicy. To extract the color and flavor, all of these ingredients must be steeped in liquor for three weeks. It’s also possible to try the delicious Homemade Elderflower Gin if you like the taste of it.
