The Flavours
Check out our best flavours
The first and many would argue the best Hedgepig. This beauty is made from Suffolk quince and bullace hand-foraged from the hedgerows of East Anglia.
​
Quince belongs to the same family as apples and pears and the little known bullace is a variety of wild plum. This unusual pairing results in a versatile, subtly sweet drink which is particularly scrummy paired with cheese.
​
For a thirst-quenching long drink, serve with Fever-Tree Ginger Ale and garnish with orange peel.

Wild Bullace & Quince
This full-flavoured tipple is made with a member of the plum family noted for its sweet honey taste.
​
Cambridge Gage is one of the most popular greengage trees, which are said to descend from plants imported into England from France in 1724 by Sir William Gage of Bury St Edmunds.
​
A cheeseboard winner, it’s also wonderfully refreshing served with Fever-Tree Spiced Orange Ginger Ale and a lemon wedge.

For many foragers, elderflower is the jewel in the crown.
​
From late May, you’ll see masses of tiny white flowers hanging in sprays in woodlands and along roadside hedgerows.
​
True to form, we only use homegrown and local wild elderflower, giving this luscious liqueur subtle citrus notes and a delicate flavour.
Best appreciated ice-cold with pudding, or serve with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic and an apple slice for an invigorating cocktail.

Even those people who don’t like gooseberries (yes, it turns out there are some) rave about this.
​
British gooseberries have a short season, dependant upon how much sun we’re enjoying. June is the peak cropping month, but can be picked anytime from May to August.
​
Slightly sweet with good fruit notes, this works well with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic, a lime slice, and a sprig of fresh mint.

About us
Stephen Marsh has been making fruit gin liqueurs for decades, and it was that experience that enabled him to develop and launch the rather better-known Pinkster Gin brand. Pinkster is made with fresh raspberries and is a subtly dry and refreshing gin that is made without adding sugar (there is less than 1g of sugar per 70cl bottle of Pinkster Gin).
When he wanted to release a fruit gin liqueur, he decided to do it under a different brand name and Hedgepig Fruit Gin Liqueurs was born. We are a family business and forage or grow our own fruit and specialise in making exceptional spirits with them. They are all made in small batches by hand in the traditional way near Cambridge using the finest ingredients. Many have achieved serious critical acclaim.
50p from every bottle is donated to the British Hedehog Preservation Society. Founded in 1982, the BHPS is dedicated to helping & protecting hedgehogs native to the UK
