The Demijohn News - Introducing Rhubarb and Ginger
Rhubarb & Ginger, a mischievous pair....
Rhubarb and Ginger could very well be the names of your dog and your cat. However, it is not. This is a beautiful set of delicious drinks contained within our newly returned Ying & Yang 200ml bottles. Our smooth Organic Rhubarb Vodka Liqueur 20.5% and fiery Ginger Wine 14% can both be drunk separately. Mix them together, with a little ice, and you make our simple yet irresistible Carrie MaK Cocktail. No wonder then that this is a popular set for a present. If you are needing an idea for Mothering Sunday on 30th March, then this could very possibly be it?
To ensure the safe and timely delivery of any order prior to Mother's Day, please place your order before Mon 24th March 2014 to take advantage of our free standard UK Mainland delivery offer for orders over £40.
A Tasting Evening on the House
Following on from our successful on the house tasting evenings which we ran for both Burns Night and Valentine's Day, we are planning to run another free to attend evening on Thursday 27th March in all shops. This time we will be tipping our hats to Mothers in particular, however all are welcome!
The evening will be based on our standard Tasting Evening, starting at 6.30pm and running for about an hour. The entertainment will start with a cocktail or two while you hear the Demijohn story so far, followed by a hosted tasting of some of the many wonderful food and drink products we have on tap. The evening is relaxed and fun and could be a good opportunity to introduce your Mother or friends who have yet to discover us.
If you cannot make our planned evening on 27th March you are very welcome to book a private event for a group of 10 or more or purchase our popular Tasting for Two voucher to use on a separate date. Please contact us if you need more advice.

To attend please simply send an email stating which shop you would like to attend, Edinburgh, Glasgow, York or Oxford and your total number of guests.
