Quenched: Thirst-Quenching Soda Drinks

Quenched brings a simple refreshing take to busy days, and special occasions. These fizzy fruit-flavoured drinks are ideal for warm days, or when you wish to skip the booze.

Sold in three flavours, each can contains just sparkling water, real fruit and a little thirst-quenching bicarbonate of soda. For a light, flavourful refreshment to enjoy any time.

• Lime and soda is not too heavy or sweet, ideal with a touch of Rocks organic cordial.
• Blackcurrant and soda is a classic childhood treat, with a sweet-tart balance to appeal to all ages.
• Orange and soda blends juicy, sun-ripened oranges with the lively fizz of soda water. Summer in a glass!

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.

Always pop ring-pulls back over hole before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.

Most sodas have now added in disgusting-aftertaste artificial sweeteners (same with fruit squash) to try to eek more profits, due to the upcoming sugar tax.

One critic of the new recipe for Ribena (a vitamin-C-rich blackcurrant squash developed during World War II, when citrus fruits were not available) wrote ‘Adding sweeteners to Ribena was intended to reduce our sugar intake. This has worked, as I no longer buy Ribena!
