Bottle Green cordials

If your consumption of fruit cordial amounts to a bottle of orange squash bought around Wimbledon tennis season and not more often, then now is the time to change your habits. Bottle Green have launched two new flavours of cordial adding to their artificial colour, flavour and sweetener free range.

Cox's Apple and Plum couldn't taste more British, and a glassful topped up with chilled water and ice makes for a fantastically refreshing drink. If the weather outside is still a bit miserable and you fancy something warming, Pomegranate and Elderflower is delicious topped up with hot water and a slice of lemon combining home-grown and exotic flavours.

They also make fantastic mixers for your favourite long alcoholic drinks- add a splash to a vodka and soda for a simple cocktail.
