Nuisance Botanical Sodas (from The Cotswolds)
Fed up of the conventional soda brands? Try something new, from artisan brands handmade in England. They are made with natural ingredients and sweetened naturally with real sugar (the upcoming sugar tax means nearly all big brands have added artificial sweeteners, to make more profit).
If you love unique drinks with a botanical twist, Nuisance Drinks (also sold at Farm Fetch) delivers a sparkling taste of the Cotswolds. These non-alcoholic drinks bring together wild and foraged ingredients to create a refreshing alternative to sugary sodas.
Before recycling, pop ring-pulls back over can holes (to stop wildlife getting trapped).
Check medication before consuming grapefruit or rhubarb sodas (avoid hibiscus lemonade for pregnancy). Also avoid caffeine (cola) or follow NHS guidelines of no more than one a day.
The unique flavours are inspired by the founder and his mum, who spent summer foraging to make homemade cordial. 1% of sales from this brand go to rewilding projects, which help to foster natural homes for native species like beavers. The range includes:
- Nettle & Elderflower blends wild nettles with fragrant elderflower, delivering a light, grassy fizz and floral notes. Perfect for a summer picnic or as a mixer.
- Rhubarb & Ginger suits autumn evenings or a lively lunch with friends. The ginger isn’t overpowering, giving just enough warmth without stealing the show.
- Wild Bramble & Rosemary is a nice non-alcoholic spritz, as an alternative to tonic or lemonade.
- Damson & Rosehip has a subtle floral tang. Not too sweet.
- Cucumber & Mint offers a fresh, crisp profile that’s perfect on a hot day. A great base for mocktails or simply with crushed ice.
