Raisthorpe Shimmering Vodka.

At Pampered presents we love all things natural, organic, locally sourced and locally produced and this extends to alcohol as well. It is my pleasure to tell you about Raisthorps Shimmering Vodka Liqueurs launched for Christmas 2013.

Raisthorpe Manor is one of those companies I love to read about. They use only the finest locally sourced ingredients and traditional family recipes, so their range is rather unique. Their gins and liqueurs have won many awards and are stocked all over the UK.

They say, ‘All that glistens is not gold’, but in this case – it is! Yes, the vodka shimmers with edible gold glitter, perfect for dazzling your family and friends this Christmas. Every sip from your crystal cocktail glasses will be delivering nine-carat gold luxury!

So, if you thought your parties couldn’t possibly get any more glamorous, think again. Try these Shimmering vodkas’ and decide for yourself. I was so impressed with the bottles and labels, very posh indeed.

The vodka comes in a set of 2 flavours, Blood Orange and Toffee Caramel. They would be perfect as a gift and would be sure to impress anyone, whether it’s your girlfriend, wife or mother. Perfect taken neat with ice, or with a mixer. I have to confess, I added a few tablespoons to ice-cream after Sunday dinner and it was scrummy! I plan to save some to add a touch of sparkle to my next toffee cheesecake.

The possibilities are endless and although I tried, I could not pick a favourite. Go on, treat yourself to a nine carat Christmas with Raisthorpes Shimmering Vodka.
