However, these items are still available for purchase at our boutique on Saint Laurent. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.\n\nAlambika is proud to present its latest collaboration: IMMATURE, NATURAL VERJUS! Made locally from hybrid grapes bred for the Canadian climate.\n\nIMMATURE grapes are carefully picked in August when their acidity approaches Ph of 2.7 to 2.8. This is the sweet (yet not sweet!) spot for use as a fresh, local alternative to lemon and lime.\n\nFor years, we proudly carried Au Fil du Vent Verjus until the couple announced their retirement and stopped production in 2023. This is when we approached a family of vine growers interested in supplying us.\n\nEvery year in September, there will be a new release. You can expect slight variations in color depending on the vintage.\n\nVerjus is a tart, acidic juice made from unripe grapes. It's often used in cooking and salad dressings as a tangy alternative to vinegar or lemon juice. \n\nThe flavor is milder than that of mature wine grapes, adding a subtle acidity to dishes without overwhelming them. However, we created that Verjus for cocktail and beverages and it sure can enhance flavors in various recipes.\n\nHere are different uses in cocktails:\n\nSour Substitute: It can replace citrus juices in sour cocktails, providing a softer, more complex acidity.\n\nSavory Cocktails: Its earthy notes work well in savory drinks, like those featuring herbs or spices, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.\n\nSpritzers: Mixed with sparkling water or wine, verjus creates a refreshing spritzer that's light and flavorful.\n\nVinaigrette Cocktails: Some mixologists use verjus in cocktails that mimic salad dressings, combining it with oils, herbs, and spirits.\n\nThe label design and Stupid Rabbit icon at the back have been created by our friend, the creative bartender and artist Max Coubès.","brand":"Immature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49688659788070,"sku":"AK_VJUS-IMMA-750","price":26.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1793\/7601\/files\/immature_natural_verjus.jpg?v=1729012482"}],"url":"https:\/\/alambika.ca\/collections\/immature.oembed","provider":"Alambika","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
