Ironworks is one of my favourite stalls in all of Seaport. The colours of the liqueurs here are hypnotic. Pale pinks, deep reds, tinges of yellows and greens, I want them all! They have their award-winning vodka for sale here, and I keep meaning to buy a bottle and try it. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, and vodka is my true love when it comes to alcohol. The problem is I’m easily distracted. Everything they carry is just so unique! I can’t stop myself from trying something new when I’m here instead. Vodka can be found everywhere. These other flavours are something special. The rhubarb liqueur is one of the best things I’ve ever poured down my throat. This is for any and all fans of rhubarb. If you pine for it every time the season ends, do yourself a favour and pick up a bottle. Or at least go and have a sample cup poured for you at the market. It’s amazing. They are a bit of a splurge, but they feel so fancy! Cranberry, Blueberry, Pear… there are just so many to admire. Vodka, I will have you yet!

Ironworks is a gorgeous distillery in Lunenburg that puts out a whole range of delicious spirits in some of the most lovely designed bottles I’ve seen in a long time! I first picked up a bottle of their Cranberry liqueur at Bishop’s Cellar on an impulse and I’ve never looked back. Don’t believe me? Visit them at the market and try a sample for yourself. Their products are a little on the pricy side(for me, anyway) but they’re definitely worth it. It just means I get a little possessive over them at the house. They aren’t part of my, ‘sure — help yourself to whatever you can find’ offer, that’s for sure. But then again, that may not be the price so much as my own greed. The Cranberry is still my absolute favourite but Blueberry fans will like that option too. I don’t have much of a distinguished palate when it comes to spirits so I won’t comment any further on their more traditional lines, but I will say they’re potent! And isn’t that what counts?
