Nuisance Soda (made with foraged fruits)
Nuisance Drinks offers botanical drinks made with foraged ingredients. Handmade in small batches, choose from:
- Nettle & elderflower
- Rhubarb & ginger
- Pink grapefruit & basil
- Bramble & rosemary
- Mint, cucumber & chilli
A portion of profits are given to a charity that helps pollination. If you forage for wild food, leave some for wildlife and never remove ‘baby alligators’ on nettles, as these are ladybirds not ready to fly off. Read more on ethical foraging.
Before recycling cans, rinse then pop ring-pulls over holes. Then use your fingers/thumb to ‘pinch’ inner rims together, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.
Check medication before consuming rhubarb or grapefruit (avoid hibiscus and caffeine for pregnancy/nursing). Also read about organic and fair trade colas.
Most sodas are sold in glass bottles or aluminium cans (easily recycled, which saves up to 95% on making new aluminium, which then does not have to be mined). You could even set up a community aluminium can and foil recycling scheme, and raise money for community projects, by selling the cans back to industry.
