Soft drink brand Bottlegreen is introducing four new flavour variants across its range of dilutable cordials and ready-to-drink sparkling pressés. The Orange and Lemon flavour sees Mediterranean oranges paired with zesty lemon to create a sweet and juicy summer-inspired cordial. A 500ml glass bottle is available for an RRP of £4.05, which contains 30 servings. Meanwhile, in its sparkling presses range, Blood Orange Spritz combines the taste of blood orange with Cotswold spring water drawn from an on-site spring. Available as a ‘light’ variant containing 20 calories per 100ml, the Raspberry Lemonade pressé blends juicy raspberries and tart lemon juice with gently sparkling Cotswold spring water. Ginger Beer contains 27 calories per 100ml and features a combination of invigorating ginger and sparkling Cotswold spring water. All of its new flavours in the sparkling presses range are available in 750ml glass bottles for an RRP of £3.20. Sarah Lawson, head of marketing – softs at SHS Drinks, said: “Bottlegreen is known for its iconic-shaped green bottles and its high-quality products, and our array of new variants will further enhance the brand’s strong reputation amongst consumers”. She added: “Bottlegreen is admired for both its innovative flavours and its serve versatility: our diluted cordials can be enjoyed ‘straight’ or added in concentrated form to make classy cocktails or to pep-up prosecco, and our sparkling pressés are perfect on their own or as the ideal complement to meal occasions".
