Sharp, fiery and lightly sparkling - the grown-up end of the ginger beer shelf.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA switchel is an old harvest drink: vinegar, ginger and something sweet, mixed to rehydrate farmers working through the heat. Laurie Freeman, a cheesemaker and brewer in the Lake District, rebuilt it with organic ingredients after deciding that soft drinks had not kept up with what was happening in beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cider vinegar is what makes it work. It gives an acidity that sugar-led ginger beers never have, so the drink stays tart and cuts through food instead of coating your mouth. No refined sugar, no preservatives, no flavourings - not even the citric or ascorbic acid nearly everything else uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink it over ice with a wedge of lemon, or use it as a mixer. It makes an excellent Moscow Mule and it is very good with a decent bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in small batches in the Lake District\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly sparkling switchel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiery ginger, sharp cider vinegar, honeyed lemon finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330ml glass bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic, gluten-free, contains \u003cstrong\u003ehoney\u003c\/strong\u003e so not vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e102 calories per bottle, no refined sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSparkling filtered water, organic pressed ginger root (5.9%), organic lemon juice, organic apple cider vinegar (with mother), organic acacia \u003cstrong\u003ehoney\u003c\/strong\u003e, organic acerola cherry, Cornish sea salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a switchel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA vinegar-and-ginger drink that goes back to the Caribbean and was later drunk by American farmers at harvest - an elixir by day, a mixer for spirits by night.

It sits behind the ginger and lemon and stops the honey making things sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - it is sweetened with organic acacia honey.
