Belvoir Farm Mulled Winter Punch

If you are looking for a non-alcoholic winter treat, this one is hard to beat. It is very sweet and warming, with all the spicy flavours a mulled wine (minus the wine of course). I found it very rich and extremely sweet, too sweet for my own palate. But every other member of our household …

Winter Spiced Apple Fizz

We have been seeking out soft drinks with a winter flavour. Marks & Spencer's always have interesting products on their shelves at this time of year, so I picked up a few bottles of their winter themed drinks and snacks. Apple is a very sweet flavour. I know our guests always seem keen on Appletiser, …

Disaronno Velvet Cream

Since I was a child I have had a partiality for almonds, and although I generally do not have a sweet tooth, I make the exception for almond flavouring. My first cake love was a Bakewell Tart - cherries and almonds. I also love amaretto above and beyond all other liqueurs. Back in the spring, …

Pukka Organic Three Mint Tea

More than any other beverage, I consume vast quantities of mint tea, and for many years, the box I pick up from the supermarket shelves is Pukka Organic Three Mint Tea. In the summer heat, I find coffee and many teas a bit much. But this mint tea is entirely refreshing. I do believe I …

Savyll Non-Alcoholic Paloma Tequila

I am one of those perhaps unfortunate souls who does not have a particularly sweet tooth. If I have something sweet, it has to have a balance of salt or sour to balance it out. Some cocktails are too sugary sweet for me. But in a category designed just to please the taste-buds of Lady …

Fentimans Rose Lemonade

You either do or you don't like rose flavouring. It could be likened to marmite in fact. Of course even rose enthusiasts are aware that it is easy to over-do it. I believe Fentimans Rose Lemonade does rose flavouring true justice. My goodness, you can taste the rose. They have not been shy of making …

Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Wheat Beer

I have tried a few beers just for the sake of adding a little variety to the drinks menu on my site, however, I don't particularly like beer....until now! The grapefruit flavouring is bright and delicious, not too sour, not too sweet, just perfect. So ideal for the warmer weather. A fair low alcohol level …

Belvoir Fruit Farms Lime & Lemongrass Cordial

Lemon and lime are made for hot summers. I often just fill a jug of iced water and add either mint leaves or slices of lemon or lime. However, sometimes I want something that can hold it's own with a little sparkle. Ideal with iced water, Belvoir Fruit Farms Lime and lemongrass Cordial is also …

Savyll Non-Alcoholic Bellini

We have fallen head over heels with a drinks brand we have only recently discovered. Savyll are producing beautiful alcohol free cocktails which are causing a sensation at our garden parties! This tipple is Robert's favourite - the alcohol free Bellini they make. He seems to be rather hooked on this perfect blend of peach …

Bottle Green Pomegranate & Elderflower Sparkling Pressé

I am normally a little dubious of soft drinks that are red or pink in colour. It's synthetic fruit flavourings I don't at all get along with. So when I first picked this bottle up, I was prepared not to like it. How wrong I was!! The pomegranate flavouring is delicious, truly a joyful treat …
