Product Information

Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint).

This damson vodka recipe comes with a delicious bonus ingredient – leftover vodka-soaked fruit! Don’t allow it to go to waste. Put the damsons in a jar, cover with a medium sherry and leave for a secondary infusion for 6 weeks.

Three months will do, but steeping the fruit for six months to a year is better to maximize the flavour. Ideally, leave it for few months more after rebottling the finished vodka.

Saturday Delivery For an elegant and sophisticated ambience, look to combining deeper shades of damson with softer grey, where the warmth of the berry colour is tempered with a cooler, natural stone tone. Adding a touch of a mid-muted pink such as ‘Blush’ will work brilliantly as a highlight, accent colour,’ too, Ruth continues.

You can enjoy it immediately, but it is even better if you let it mature further for about six months. It keeps well for up to five years or so, but does lose some of the flavour over time. Drink and enjoy. How to use your leftover damsons Infusing alcohol with autumn fruit is always so satisfying – preserving a taste of that wonderful hedgerow harvest for later, and knowing that you will have a delicious liqueur to share with friends and family, whether it’s by a winter fireside or in mixed drinks on a summer lawn. You can save the infused damsons for all sorts of things, but don’t be tempted to reuse them for another batch of vodka. It doesn’t work and is a waste of vodka, sugar and time!For an impactful scheme, consider warmdeeppaint colours like ‘Adventurer’, which is a rich and reassuring plum-aubergine, and pair with ‘Sage Green’ on woodwork,’ recommends Ruth from Little Greene. ‘This very natural palette is reflective of the green and purple combinations we often find in nature.’ Damson vodka can be mixed with prosecco for a Christmas treat or added to mulled apple juice or cider. It is also delicious in a long summer drink with tonic water or lemonade and lots of ice – if you have any left, that is. Larger items over 30kg can only be delivered Monday to Friday.

I usually do this in a small bottle when testing. A little goes a long way so be very cautious at first. Star anise, cardamom or cinnamon are popular additions.
