Jukes 6 is the darkest and most structured drink in the Cordialities range. Where Jukes 1 reaches for citrus brightness, this concentrate goes deep: the same vinegar maceration process applies, but the fruit selection gives it a weight and grip that sits at a different end of the flavour spectrum. Mix half a 30ml bottle with 100ml of chilled water and the colour runs deep ruby. Blackcurrant and blackberry come first on the nose, earthy and direct. Raspberry and strawberry weave through on the palate, then plum and a spine of earthy spice. The finish is mellow and long with a pleasant bitterness that lingers rather than cuts. The tannin-like grip from the structured acidity gives it more substance than the white or rosé. It also works heated in winter, which is not something many alcohol-free drinks can claim.
