UK soft drinks brand Belvoir Farm is launching two new products: No Added Sugar Apple & Blackcurrant Cordial, and a Non-Alcoholic Raspberry Margarita.
The new apple and blackcurrant flavour is the latest to be added to the brand’s No Added Sugar range, launched earlier this year. It joins existing flavours in the line, Sicilian Lemon & Lime and Exotic Mango & Passion Fruit.
Containing a blend of crisp apple and blackcurrant juices with water and sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia, the cordial is described as ‘ideal for anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake’.
It contains over 66% pure fruit juice, no artificial ingredients and no added sugar, with 10 calories and 2.5g of naturally occurring sugars from fruit per 250ml serving (diluted 1:6). Each 500ml bottle provides 14 servings, priced at £3.75 and available at Waitrose.
Belvoir Farm MD, Pev Manners, said: “By removing added sugars and using plant-based sweeteners, we’ve created a cordial range that aligns with the growing demand for healthier, natural drinks containing nothing artificial.”
Additionally, in time for Dry January, the brand has introduced the Non-Alcoholic Raspberry Margarita to its range of RTD ‘mocktails’.
Launching in 250ml cans, available at Tesco and priced at £1.39, the new mocktail features a blend of fresh raspberry and lime juice, balanced with natural agave and a subtle, natural tequila flavour.
The drink joins existing mocktails in the range, including Peach Bellini, Passionfruit Martini, Lime & Yuzu Mojito, and Rhubarb & Ginger G&T, all available in share-size 70ml bottles priced at £3.25.
