Hibiscus
Sweet - 12% alc/vol - 7° Brix
Our hibiscus mead is based on a Trinidadian recipe created by the owner's grandmother, Ena Depradine. Hibiscus mead is similar to drinks found in the Caribbean, the Mexican Gulf coast, northern South America, and West Africa called sorrel, bissap, flor de jamaica, sobolo, or zobo. The seeds of the hibiscus plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) were transported to the Americas in the hair of women during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This mead is made from hibiscus calyces, spices, ginger, and Kansas wildflower honey.
Mass Memories
Sweet - 12% alc/vol - 5° Brix
Mass Memories is an homage to the owner's home state, Massachusetts. It is made from cranberry blossom honey collected from Nantucket Island and sweetened with Massachusetts dark amber maple syrup from the Berkshire Mountains. It should be enjoyed chilled and allow yourself to be transported to the breezy shores of Cape Cod.
