One of the first local suppliers of elderflower cordial, Bottlegreen has gone from strength to strength with new flavour combinations, pressés and healthier options – low sugar and drinks free from artificial sweeteners are the latest additions to the range.

This fruit juice brand was founded by Mike Dowdeswell in Oldbury-on-Severn after he began selling ‘not from concentrate’ apple juice from the back of his car at the Anchor Inn in 1969. After being approached by a Somerset cider maker, the Frobishers brand was created after Mike spotted a gap in the market selling premium juices and cordials. The drinks certainly live up to expectation, with intriguing flavours and exciting cordial combinations such as Lemon & Mint, Sloe & Raspberry and Pomegranate & Rose.

The UK’s first elderflower-infused ‘hard’ tonic water is a refreshing blend of botanicals that’s naturally low in sugar, calories and alcohol content. Created by Lucy Warhurst from Oxfordshire, it’s ideal for social gatherings or just for those nights when you’re watching your units!

The Driver’s Tipple is a non-alcoholic gin created by former British racing driver, Hamish Gordon, at his Woodstock-based Driver’s Drink Company.

Serve it with a good quality tonic and a wedge of lime and you’d never know you were detoxing at all!
